HOW TO USE THE POP3 AND SMTP PLUGIN WITH MS OUTLOOK

POP3 PLUGIN INSTALLATION

In the following part we will show the easy process of the plugin installation.

New plugins can be installed by choosing Installed Plugins from the Plugin menu (Figure 1).

In the "Available plugins for installation" window click on the POP3 plugin install link and the installation process will start (Figure 3).

After installation you'll see the POP3 plugin appearing on the list of plugins in the "Currently installed plugins" screen. On this form you can start the configuration by cliciking on the Configure link (Figure 4).

PLUGIN CONFIGURATION

To start the configuration, click on the Configure URL and type the number of the POP3 port into the Port: text box. The POP3 server built into the plugin will listen on this port. If you would like the POP3 server of the pluginto start automatically when the Ozeki Message Server software starts, place a checkmark into the "Autoconnect on startup" checkbox and press Ok. (Figure 4).

STARTING THE PLUGIN

After the plugin has been installed, you need to start it. The startup process means that the plugin allocates the configured POP3 port and starts to listen on it for incoming connections. You can start the Ozeki Message Server POP3 plugin by clicking on "Connect" in the "Currently installed plugins" screen (Figure 5).

After you have clicked on the Connect URL, you may use the Refresh this page link to check the connection state.

If the connection was successfull the Connection state will be changed from offline to online. The connection picture also shows the online state.

Specify the E-mail Server Information: The 127.0.0.1 is the default local address for each computer. If you are testing the functionality over the network, you can use the IP address of the server, where Ozeki Message Server is installed.
Set up the same user name and password that you use for login to the Ozeki Message Server. The client users have to write in their client account datas. Finally we should modify More settings... Click on this button (Figure 16).
