Providing mail service If you installed AppleShare IP and set up the Mail Server following the instructions in the "Getting Started" manual, you set up the Mail Server as the only provider of mail service on your network, and you turned on mail service for the users you had registered at that time. To provide mail service, you need to start the Mail Server and turn on mail for any users created since you set up the server. You also need to determine how you'd prefer to manage the Mail Administrator's account. If you need help deciding how to organize your mail service, or if you plan to run the AppleShare IP Mail Server on more than one computer, you may want to review how mail service works.
