Service Administration Overview
How to get hereIMail Service Administration lets you manage a number of system services. The Service Administration page lets you get a quick overview of these services and their status.
The list shows which services are installed. Each service, its version number, and its current state (Stopped or Running) is displayed. You can use the check boxes to the left of the Name list to stop and start individual services. By selecting or clearing all check boxes at once, you can also stop or start all services simultaneously. You can also click the link under any service to access its settings page.
Tip: Starting or Stopping multiple services may take a minute.
