Hi!!

I have just installed MailBee Webmail.

My first question is:

Can MailBee work with any mailserver om my win 2003 server?

I have hmailServer and not the one default in 2003.

Question #2:

When I try to log in to the webmail I get the error:
Check POP3 server settings.

I donīt really know how to configure the following ( read below)
maby somebody can help me.

Open "settings_path.asp" file. Set strIniDir value to the path to the directory where settings file would be stored.This directory must have WRITE permissions enabled for IUSR_<YOUR_SERVER_NAME> user account (ASP scripts are executed under this user account).

Thanks

Mikael

MailBee WebMail can operate on Win2003 with any mail server: internal one or third-party one.

Regarding the second question. What exactly can't you configure?

Did you find "settings_path.asp" file? It should be present in the directory where you unpacked webmail archive into.

In "settings_path.asp" file, there is strIniDir variable declared. By default, it's set to something like "C:\WebMail". This is the path where WebMail will create configuration file. Make sure this directory exists (or you can modify this path to any directory which already exists).

WRITE permissions are about ability of WebMail to save data in configuration file. On some systems, ASP applications (MailBee WebMail is ASP application) have very limited rights on manipulating files and directories. For example, saving files in particular directory can be disabled by default. Thus, to allow WebMail to save its config, you must enable write permissions for the directory where configuration file is stored (e.g. "C:\WebMail" directory). To do this, go to windows explorer, select the directory, open Properties dialog, go to Security tab, and enable "Write" permission for user IUSR_YOURSERVERNAME. YOURSERVERNAME part depends on the name of your machine. Can be LOCALHOST or anything else.

Regards,
Alex
