MailEnable
MailEnable is a very capable and friendly eMail server.
Setting up an email in MailEnable is extremely easy with MailEnable Management :
- Messaging Manager > Post Offices > Create Postoffice...
- Messaging Manager > Post Offices > mydomaincom (newly created post office name) > Domains > New Domain...
- Messaging Manager > Post Offices > mydomaincom (newly created post office name) > Mailboxes > New mailbox...
Please pay attention to the user name. It is usually userid@mydomaincom, not the same as the email address userid@mydomain.com. In other words, there is no "." in the user name required for authentication.
To have web access (e.g. make mail.mydomain.com available), one needs to configure IIS by adding a binding to mail.mydomain.com.
How to set up client apps such as Thunderbird and Outlook:
Please note that user name is id@mydomainorg, not id@mydomain.org.
