This section describes how to use the web-based POP and IMAP mailbox servers configuration utility to configure mailbox servers for a PMDF-MTA system. This utility can be used to generate an initial mailbox servers configuration, or it can be used to configure new mailbox servers for an existing PMDF installation.

With JavaScript enabled, point your web browser (Netscape version 3.0 or later, or Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.0 or later) to

http://localhost:7633/

where localhost is the TCP/IP name of your PMDF system. At this point, you should see a screen similar to the one shown in in Figure 5-3.

Select the Configuration Utilities link. You will then be asked to authenticate yourself. Do so as Administrator. At this point, you should see a screen similar to the one shown in Figure 5-4.

If your last use of the web-based PMDF configuration utility was to configure PMDF-MTA, and your PMDF-MTA configuration has not been modified manually since then, you can load your prior PMDF-MTA configuration session before you begin your mailbox servers configuration. If you want to redo your PMDF-MTA configuration, you can start by doing so now. Otherwise, you can configure just the mailbox servers during this configuration session. (Both options will minimize the number of checklist tasks you will need to do later.)

Click on the Configure button for IMAP/POP Servers to begin the configuration. (See Chapter 5, specifically Figures 5-9 through Figure 5-15, for a sample configuration session.)
