SUMMARY

IMPORTANT: All Microsoft Mail version 2.00 customers who have gateways installed should be using the "MS Mail GW" file version 2.00b and the "Microsoft Mail Server" file version 2.00b, both of which are located in the System Folder of the Mail server. An updated "MS Mail GW" file is available through Microsoft End User Sales and Service at (800) 426-9400 or Microsoft International Customer Service at (206) 936-8661, but ONLY for customers using the AppleLink Gateway to Microsoft Mail. Customers using other gateways must obtain an updated "MS Mail GW" file from the developer of the gateway they are using. The Microsoft Mail server upgrade can also be obtained at the above numbers. Below are the steps in using the Gateway Installer program to install the AppleLink gateway for Microsoft Mail.

MORE INFORMATION

  1. The AppleLink gateway must be installed on an up-and-running Microsoft Mail server. This Macintosh should be a Macintosh Plus or newer machine, have at least 2 megabytes (MB) of memory, a hard disk, System version 6.0.2 or later, and run MultiFinder. This Mail server is known as the gateway server.
  2. The Mail workstation software must also be installed on this Macintosh because the Network Manager must configure the AppleLink gateway on the gateway server.
  3. Copy the "Gateway for AppleLink" folder from the "Gateway for AppleLink" disk to the server's hard disk.
  4. Copy the file "MS Mail GW" from the "Gateway for AppleLink" disk to the System Folder of the gateway server.
  5. Choose Chooser from the Apple menu and click on the icon for Microsoft Mail. Select the server from step 1 above. Close the Chooser.
  6. Start the Gateway Installer program. From the Gateway menu, choose Install Gateway. Select the file containing the AppleLink gateway resources named "AppleLink Gateway" and click the Install button. When done, choose Quit from the File menu. The Gateway Installer and the "AppleLink Gateway" file are located in the "Gateway for AppleLink" folder.
  7. Make the AppleLink Comm program and MultiFinder the start-up applications by selecting the AppleLink Comm program and choosing Set Startup from the Special menu when in the Finder. The gateway server has to run MultiFinder for the AppleLink gateway to run correctly. The AppleLink Comm program is in the "Gateway for AppleLink" folder.
  8. Connect the modem to the modem port on the mail server Macintosh.
  9. Sign into Mail as Network Manager.
  10. From the Mail menu, choose Gateway Configuration. Click the icon for the AppleLink gateway and enter the configuration information. For more information, query on the following keywords:

  12. From the Mail menu, choose Gateway Accounts. Click the icon for the AppleLink gateway and enter the account information. For more information, query on the following keywords:

    AppleLink and gateway and account

  13. This step is optional. From the Mail menu, choose Gateway Recipients. Click the icon for the AppleLink gateway and enter the recipient information. For more information, query on the following keywords:

    AppleLink and gateway and recipient

  14. Restart the server.
  15. From the Apple menu, choose Chooser, and click the icon for the file "MS Mail GW". Select the server from step 1 above.



Now when you send a mail message to an AppleLink recipient, that mail message will be routed through the AppleLink gateway. For more information, query on the following keywords:
