Defining IBM i mail users

You have two ways to define IBM i mail users: - via a traditional 5250 screen - via the Operations Navigator Using a traditional 5250 screen Using the Operations Navigator

1. Using a traditional 5250 screen Create an user profile just allowed to handle electronic mail (substitute our sample value with your; see your checklist):     crtusrprf usrprf(popuser) password(popuser)        inlmnu(*signoff) text('e-mail user') Add this user profile to the System Distribution Directory     adddire usrid(popuser S44xxxxx) usrd('e-mail user') user(popuser) where S44xxxxx is the name of your IBM i as displayed by command dspneta. Then you have to tell that this user will use IBM i POP3 services. Operate as follow: enter command wrkdire (Work with Directory Entries), and select the user with option 2=change. Page down until you meet the following: Change Directory Entry User ID/Address . . . . :   POPUSER  S44xxxxx Type changes, press Enter.

2. Using the Operations Navigator The Operations Navigator is a no-charge component of Client Access for Windows/NT V3R2 (5769-XD1) and of Client Access Express (5769-XE1). The Operations Navigator from Client Access Express has more functions than the one from Client Access for Windows/NT, therefore we recommend it. Both products can handle user profile admimistration, though this is an optional part to be selected during product installation. In case you do not find this item in your Operations Navigator, run a Client Access selective installation, and ask for details of Operations Navigator component. In this sample configuration, we used the Operations Navigator from Client Access Express. For more information, see IBM i Client Access Home Page. In order to be used, the Operations Navigator must be installed on a client. For the installation and configuration instructions, please refer to IBM i Information Center. The following describbes how you should operate to define an IBM i mail user.
