Pre-requisite hardware

MailEnable will run on virtually any computer capable of running Windows NT, 2000/2003 or .NET Operating Systems. Note: While the MailEnable product suite can be installed and has been tested on XP and workstation environments the company does not support these platforms. Pre-requisite software

For Windows NT 4:

- Service Pack 6a - IIS/Windows NT Option Pack 4 (Please refer to note below) - Microsoft Transaction Server, IIS - For Windows 2000/2003: - IIS (Please refer to note below) versions

Note: In order to install either the Web Administration or Web Mail components of MailEnable, Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) will need to be installed. If you do not intend to use these components, then IIS is not a requirement.

If using NT4, ensure IIS is installed from the Windows NT Option Pack.

If installing MailEnable on Windows 2000/2003, IIS is included with the default package. MailEnable web mail and web administration use the Microsoft .Net Framework version 1.1. While the option to install the ASP version is available, it does not include a spell checker, multiple languages or light weight HTML editor. Install software

The MailEnable installation guide can be found here: MailEnable Quick Start Guide (requires a PDF viewer)

Reinstall or uninstall software

MailEnable can be installed over an existing installation. It will not delete any emails currently on the system. The install kit will ask you if you wish to overwrite the existing configuration. If you overwrite the existing configuration, the email messages will not be deleted, just the configuration data that allows these to be accessed. If you do this, and create a post office which already exists, you will be able to access the email.

When uninstalling MailEnable, emails that are currently on your computer are not removed. You can delete these manually by removing the MailEnable directory.

To run unattended setup

In order to install MailEnable unattended, use the /s command line option when running the installation program. This will install MailEnable with the default settings. After installation, the registry settings will need to be altered to specify the local domain name. This can be changed either through the registry or via the administration program.

HTTP is the protocol that handles web traffic. It defines how web pages are formatted and the way they are delivered over the Internet. It also includes any information about the objects that are needed by proxy servers or a user's web browser. HTTPMail is a relatively new protocol for the server hosted messaging services. HTTPMail provides an alternative to using POP and SMTP, with the added benefit of allowing messages to be hosted on the server (rather than downloaded onto the client). Further to this, using HTTPMail, messages can be moved between the server and local stores as required.

HTTPMail utilizes WebDAV HTTP Extensions to provide remote access to server hosted mail folders using standard HTTP communication. This service allows mail messages to be hosted on the server and provides tight integration with Outlook 2002 (and later) and Outlook Express, although subfolders are not supported in HTTPMail. Unlike IMAP, it does not require SMTP to send messages. HTTPMail posts messages into the post office where they are either locally delivered or dispatched through the SMTP Connector.

IMAP4 is a mail protocol that allows users to be disconnected from the main messaging system and still be able to process mail.
