After running the setup wizard, you will have to configure Outlook for use with the AXIGEN Outlook Connector. To do so, please follow the steps below:
1. Add a new Outlook profile, if you don't have one:
1.1 Go to Start-> Control Panel -> Mail applet.
1.2 Select 'Show Profiles...' -> 'Add...' , add a name for your new profile, select 'Ok'.
2. Add a new account to the profile you have just added:
2.1 From the 'E-mail' section, choose 'Add a new e-mail account'.
2.2 In the 'E-mail Accounts' dialog, 'Server Type' section choose 'Additional Server Types'.
2.3 In 'E-mail Accounts' dialog, 'Additional Server Types' section choose 'Axigen Mail Server'.
3. Fill all required settings for the 'Axigen Outlook Connector' service:
3.1 Fill in the 'Server Name' edit control with the IP or the name of the AXIGEN Mail Server. If you do not have the required information,
please contact your system administrator for more details.
3.2 Fill in the 'IMAP Port' and 'SMTP Port' fields, with the ports on which the IMAP and SMTP services are listening (Example: IMAP - 143 / SMTP - 25). If you do not have the required information, please contact your system administrator for more details.
3.3 Enable the 'Windows Native (kerberos)' option so the connector will use the credentials of the logged in user to authenticate to the AXIGEN account (if the server is configured to allow this type of authentication). Enabling this option disables the account name and password fields since the current user credentials from the kerberos ticket will be used.
3.4 Fill in the 'Account Name' and 'Password' fields with the account name and password provided by your mail server administrator.
3.5 Check the 'Use secure authentication' option to instruct the Connector to use secured authentication. If the server is not configured to allow this type of authentication enabling this option will yield login failure.
3.6 Use the 'Remember Password' option so you won't have to type it in each time you open Outlook
3.7 Click the 'Test Connection...' button to verify that the details you entered are correct and complete and your account is working.
