Setting Service Administration Options

How to get here

IMail 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.

• IMail IMAP4 Server. Select this check box to start this service, which lets users access remote message stores (on the mail server) as if they were local. Using an IMAP4 mail client, users can read, move, delete mail, and create mailboxes all on the server system.

  Note: IMail Web Messaging directly accesses the server to manage mail, and no longer requires IMAP. 

• Ipswitch Instant Messaging Server. Select this check box to stop or start IIM . If you click the link, the IIM Home page appears.
• IMail Web Calendar Service. Select this check box to let users access Web Calendar, which allows them to store schedules, set appointments, and send e-mail date reminder information using a web browser.

  Note: Web Calendar no longer requires a service. Running this service will allow a link to display in the Web Client to give access to the old Web Calendar.

• IMail LDAP Service. Select this check box to publish and provide access to user information on the server, and extend the IMail user database to include standard LDAP attributes such as name, address, organization name, and phone number. LDAP allows each user with an account on the system to add, delete, or modify information in his/her own LDAP entry.
• IMail POP3 Server. Select this check box to let any POP3 mail client communicate with IMail Server.
• IMail Queue Manager Service. Select this check box to control the flow of messages through the mail queue. The Queue Manager service is a component of the SMTP delivery process.
• Premium AntiSpam Service. Select this check box to enable Mail-Filters' Star Engine premium antispam service. (Available with IMail Plus and IMail Premium only.)
• IMail SMTP Server. Select this check box to allow users to let the SMTP server send and receive mail from other Internet hosts using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and  process all incoming and outgoing mail.
• IMail Sys Logger Service. Select this check box to allow users to  view the log files in the IMail spool directory.
• Ipswitch WorkgroupShare Service. Select this checkbox to enable Collaboration. (Available with IMail Premium only.)
