Product Description
IMail Server is an Internet standards based mail server system for Microsoft Windows 2003 and Microsoft Windows 2008. IMail Server includes powerful anti-spam management tools, a new Web-based administrator and client, and implements a series of programs that run as services including:
- Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) service for sending and receiving mail over the Internet or in an internal TCP/IP network.
- Post Office Protocol, version 3 (POP3) service to allow POP3 clients (such as Microsoft Outlook Client and Qualcomm Eudora) to download mail from the IMail Server.
- Internet Message Access Protocol, version 4 (IMAP4) service to allow IMAP4 clients (such as FireFox and Microsoft Internet Explorer) to access mail on the IMail Server.
- Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Version 2.1.22 service for publishing user information in an LDAP directory.
- Language support for Web Messaging: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Chinese Simplified, Chinese Traditional and Japanese.
IMail Server also provides a List server for creating and managing mailing lists and a mail to pager/beeper feature that lets you set up aliases on the IMail Server that forward mail from a mail client to preconfigured pager or beeper address.
IMail Collaboration allows users to synchronize their mobile devices with their Outlook folders to include e-mail, contacts, calendar, tasks and notes. Users can maintain their tasks, notes, contacts and calendar appointments from either their computer or mobile device, and remain synchronized. See the IMail Administration Help > System Settings for more details on enabling this feature.
IMail Server Product Features
- Web Client lets you send and receive mail using a web browser. You can log on to the Web Messaging from a browser on any computer with a supported browser and manage e-mail without installing e-mail client software. When a user creates a mailbox in the Web client, the mailbox is created on the mail server and mail folders and messages reside on the server.
- Lite Client (Low bandwidth mail client) allows users with mobile devices the capability to access their mail quicker. To allow this capability, framesets, icons, and certain processes were removed to allow for faster load.
- IMail Web Administration (Server) provides local or remote access to IMail Server administration features via a Web browser and/or console server. You can administer all e-mail functions, including users, groups, services, shared calendars and contacts, and anti-spam and antivirus settings.
- IMail Collaboration is now integrated into all IMail Server products to allow all users the greatest benefit for data sharing. IMail Collaboration incorporates the capability to share Outlook data, such as calendars, tasks, contacts, distribution lists, notes, and e-mail for all IMail users. In addition to sharing users' personal folders with other users, IMail Collaboration lets you define public shared folders such as shared contact lists and holiday calendars with other users.

Installing/Upgrading/Repairs
IMail Server Installation
Registry Checker - Regcheck.exe is run automatically during a repair or upgrade, and can also be run from the command line. Regcheck troubleshoots registry conflicts during upgrades and repairs.
Ipswitch IMail uses InstallShield® Wizard to install the IMail components on your computer. Use the on-screen instructions to select the installation features that set up the mail server to your preferences.
The installation program automatically configures Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 or later and Microsoft® .NET Framework 4.0 or later. It also sets user permissions automatically; however, if you need to configure permissions manually, the following Default IMail Permissions and Configuration must be set on your mail server to make it fully functional or for administrators who do not want to use the default configuration, you can use the Non-default IMail Permissions and Configuration. If you need to configure IIS manually, see IIS Settings. For using IIS Virtual Directories, see Using IIS Virtual Directories.
Starting Web Administration and Web Client
After installation, you have the option to launch the IMail Web Administration automatically. If you choose not to launch IMail Web Administration automatically, in your browser address box, type the IP address or domain name of the IMail Web Server followed by the path where you installed the Web Administration.
For example:
- Type
"http://mail.domain.com/IAdmin"in the browser and press ENTER. The Ipswitch Web Administration login page appears.-OR-
Click Start > Programs > Ipswitch > IMail Server > IMail Web Administration. The Web Administration login page appears.
To launch the Web Client, in your browser address box, type the IP address or domain name of the IMail Web Server followed by the path where you installed Web Client.
For example:
- Type
"http://mail.domain.com/IClient" in the browserthen press ENTER. The Ipswitch Web Client login page appears.
Web Client Tips for Upgrading
The Web Client templates have been redesigned and no longer support the Web template infrastructure implemented in previous versions of Web Messaging (included in IMail 8.2 and earlier). When you upgrade to IMail 2006 and later, the previous versions of the Web templates are not functional.
Note: Port 8383 is no longer required as the default port for Web Client, as IIS by default uses port 80.
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL version 3) Notes
The private key file is protected using a password specified in SSL Configuration Utility. This password is required for decoding the key file while loading the SSL server. This password is stored in the registry and automatically retrieved during the loading process of SSL Server. The registry path for IMail is usually SOFTWARE\Ipswitch\imail\ssl. The registry path must be correct; otherwise an error message is generated and the files will not be created.
IMail Collaboration Installation
- The IMail Collaboration installation is a component of the IMail Server installation.
- If you are upgrading from an IMail Server without IMail Collaboration or if you did not install IMail Collaboration, a backup of the
WorkgroupShare.mdbfile (located under"...\IMail\WorkgroupShare\Data". - To save existing contacts used for your Web Client or Microsoft Outlook, after installing IMail Collaboration, import the contact database located at
"...\IMail\WorkgroupShare\Data\WorkgroupShare.old.mdb"to"...\IMail\WorkgroupShare\Data".
