If you are setting up your company's e-mail system for the first time, or expanding its scope, or even just making changes, you will need to have certain items in place before you can use IGetMail to automatically download incoming POP3 e-mail messages.

• Registered Domain Name

• ISP Account set up for both domain name and e-mail hosting

• Direct access to your ISP via T1, DSL, High-Speed Cable or Dial-up networking

• Local e-mail server that is running Microsoft Exchange 5.5 / 2000 / 2003

• Optional:  separate Windows NT / 2000 / 2003 Server on your network with access to the local Exchange Server (if you do not wish to install IGetMail on the Exchange Server itself)

Run the Installation Program (igmsetup.exe)

Run the IGetMail setup program. It will prompt you for the folder to install the software. After installation you will be presented with the IGetMail Administrator wizard.

1. Proceed to Step 2 where you specify the Internet connectivity method:  Direct Connection
   
   If you connect to the Internet using anything except a standard modem, select the Direct Connection option. If you need IGetMail to dial your modem to connect to the Internet, then select the Dial-up Networking option.

2. On the next screen you will define how IGetMail connects to your local e-mail server. At the top of the panel enter the name or IP address of the machine that is running your local Exchange Server.

3. Enter your registered domain name in the Local Server Internet Domain section. This will be the name of the domain that is to the right of the “@” in your e-mail address for example “YourCompany.com”.

4. On the next panel (Step 4) you define the names of your remote POP3 accounts.

5. If your ISP stores all of your e-mail into a single account, then select the “Add New Group” button. If you have a single account that your users log into individually at the ISP, then select the “Add New Person” button. 
   
   The difference between a group account and an individual account is that IGetMail will sort the e-mail for a group account, but individual accounts are not sorted. Exchange Server will not sort the e-mail.

6. After configuring your POP3 accounts, setup the schedule to define how often you want IGetMail to connect to your POP3 accounts and check for new e-mail.

7. Next, specify if you want IGetMail to run as a service or as an application. You should select service in order to make sure that IGetMail is always checking your e-mail.

8. The last step allows you to specify maintenance options. These are useful when you are testing connection.

After you complete the Wizard, IGetMail will automatically check your e-mails.
