Postoffice

I am trying to start microsoft exchange :
I first double click on INBOX on man screed, then I get a window which asks for Postoffice Mailebox & Password. How do I find the name (or path) for the postoffice. I am a single user.

Thanks

Steve

You need to have an internet Mail account which will consist of four things:

POP3 (incoming mailbox) server
SMTP (outgoing mailbox) server
POP3 login name: your login name
Password

You need to know this information and then set up Exchange to work using the postoffice wizard. Right now it wants to set you up, but you need to give it the info it needs first.

Steve,
What if he doesn't have an internet account? And why would that be a requirement for setting up an Exchange post office?

I do not have a POSTOFFICE administrator in my control pannel. But after hours of trial and error I now can fax & email. Do not know how I did it.

Normally the Postoffice administrator is installed at the same time that you install Windows Messaging. This also puts the Inbox icon on your desktop. That is very strange. But, as long as it works!

I am still getting logon screen asking for may password but when I do not type in correct one it failes after 4 time, but still lets me fax?????

Not all software was installed on system when I purchased it. SO that is why I do not know password.

At loggon I am still being asked for path & password to Postoffice. Since I do not know what it is I can not answer. Then the program goes on (I assume to work offline) but I can still fax ....) Any suggestions?
