instructions for 1:
  • start hMailServer setup, accept agreement, install location, full installation, select database (new one MSSQL or other like MySQL), password for administrator, install.
  • click start - click on hMail Server Administrator, Connect, enter hmail server administrator password
  • click add domain (yourdomain.com), from the side menu click on yourdomain.com - accounts and click add to add a new email user (.i.e user), fill the details and click save

instructions for 2:
  • open outlook, create new email account, manual settings
  • the email address is user@yourdomain.com, incoming and outgoing mail server will be YOUR SERVER IP ADDRESS. if this is a production server, you should assign a DNS name for it
  • enter the credentials (user@yourdomain.com and the password created with created the user


Thats it!

I have given you a simple basic configuration, there are plenty plenty of options in hmail server, that you need to check whether it suite your needs or not (domain integration, SSL, real ip, spam and antivirus systems integration, mx records, ports,  etc...) these are different from one organization to another, and again, depends on your needs.

Hi all,
I have still one doubt posted on 29th May, can you please answer me?

Can you please see attached screenshot below and advise why I got problem to configure the account, while Huamin is one AD user of the domain, on the server?

Sorry to that I still have doubt to your answer. Can you please clear my doubt in there?
I've checked that currently my Email server is working fine, but what to adjust below, in Outlook, to re-configure my hMailserver account?
