CREATING USER ACCOUNTS
The user's account will contain the user's personal and mailbox information. You may also define the user's disk quota limit to control his disk space utility.

To create or add a new user account in the local Message Store, do the following steps:

  1. Enter values for the following fields:


    • E-mail Address
      The e-mail address of the new user. The e-mail address of the new user needs to be registered to serve as reference to their personal mailbox. The senders on the other hand, will use this e-mail address to reach the new user's mailbox.

      NOTE: This e-mail address will serve as the user's e-mail address and login name in accessing his/her Message Store mailbox using IMAP4/POP3-capable mail client or Internet Exchange's Web Mail Client.


    • First Name
      The first name of the user to be added to the Message Store and Directory Server.


    • Last Name
      The last name of the new user to be added to the Message Store and Directory Server.


    • Password/Confirm Password
      The security password is used to gain access to the user's personal e-mail. This should be entered by the user. To make sure that it is typed correctly, the password should be entered again in the Confirm Password textbox. The password appears on screen as a row of asterisks for security purposes.

      NOTE: This password will serve as the user's password in accessing his/her Message Store mailbox using IMAP4/POP3-capable mail client or Internet Exchange's Web Mail Client.



    • Root Directory
      The physical location of the user's mailboxes and messages. A default root directory path has already been defined in the IEMTA.INI. (for Windows) or IEMS.CONF (for Linux). This is already being displayed in the form. The system administrator can eaily change the home directory of the user by altering the default value.


    • Disk Quota
      This determines the maximum disk space alloted for the user.


    • If you are to assign an unlimited quota, tick the Unlimited radio button. This allows the user to have an unlimited number of mail messages inside the folder of his/her directory in the Message Store. Otherwise, tick the MB button and enter a value corresponding to the maximum disk quota to be consumed by the user.

    • User Permission
      The Send and Receive permission allows the user to send and receive messages. The Send Only permission option allows the user to send messages but prevents him/her to receive messages.

      NOTE: The following features are only available in Professional and Standard edition


    • Web folder Root Directory
      The physical location of the user's Web folder. A default root directory path has already been defined in the IEMTA.INI. (for Windows) or IEMS.CONF (for Linux). This is already being displayed in the form. The system administrator can easily change the root directory of the user by altering the default value.


    • Web folder Quota
      This determines the maximum disk space alloted for the user's Web folder.

      If you are to assign an unlimited quota, tick the Unlimited radio button. This allows the user to have an unlimited number of Web folder storage inside his/her directory . Otherwise, tick the MB button and enter a value corresponding to the maximum disk quota to be consumed by the user.
