Once you have installed and configured your i-Mail server you are ready to start the server component.
To start i-Mail, go to your file server console, or run a remote console session to it and load i-Mail with the following command syntax:
LOAD IMAIL i-Mail_directory
i-Mail should start up, run through its internal diagnostic check and configure and start the services that have been enabled. When this is completed you will see a screen similar to the following.
A number of options are available at the server console to speed up you mail processing
To force an immediate internet POP collection, press I
To force internet mail to be sent, press O
To activate the local mail processor, press L
To run the i-Mail internal housekeeping mechanism, press 'H'
To force i-Mail to re-load its configuration, press 'C'
To export the log file to 'EXPORT.LOG', press 'E'
To exit i-Mail press F7
To terminate all POP collectors, press 'CTRL-P'
To terminate all SMTP connectors, press 'CTRL-S'
To terminate all client connections, press 'CTRL-U'
To force i-Mail to shutdown if processes will not exit during unload, press 'K'
This is the number of active internet mail collections.
This is the number of users connected and retrieving mail from i-Mail.
This is the number of outbound internet mail connections currently active.
This is the number of client PCs and/or remote e-mail systems sending data into i-Mail.
This displays the day and time of the next local mail process.
This activity indicator will change, depending on the state of i-Mail. a single '-' moving from left to right indicates that i-Mail is generally inactive. A solid line of '-' characters means i-Mail is checking whether to start activities such as queue processing and other tasks. A line of '*' characters indicates i-Mail is reloading its configuration.
This displays the next scheduled internet connection for collecting POP mail and for sending mail out in the case of outbound mail using scheduled times.
This shows the current time on the server.
This shows the amount of time the i-Mail server has been active since it was last loaded.
The top right window in the i-Mail server console displays real-time activity in the i-Mail system. This displays details of users, remote servers and internet connector activity and the data send and receive counts that are in progress. If an activity has a number prefixed to the line, any subsets of this connection are shown with the same number. In the example we see a client connected on slot 16 who has sent 600Kb of data so far on this connection. Slot 14 shows a client connected and retrieving mail.
Status messages are displayed in the lower window. These logs are summary details of the activity in i-Mail. All messages that are displayed here are output to the system console and/or log file when specified in the Logging Tab of i-Mail administrator.
