Adding E-mail Users

Goal: Set up e-mail user accounts so you can test the mobile workflow on the emulator.

Prerequisites
The James Mail Server requires a Java Runtime Environment of Java version 1.4 or higher installed to run the James application. A JRE must be downloaded and installed before James can run. In addition, the environment variable JAVA_HOME must be set to the JRE home directory before running James.

This procedure uses an open source POP3 e-mail server called James Mail Server, but you can use any e-mail server.

  1. Go to http://james.apache.org/.
  2. Download the james-binary-2.3.2.zip file.
  3. Unzip the file, for example, to C:\james.
  4. Go to C:\james\james-2.3.2\bin and execute run.bat. You see the James Mail Server window.

    Note: The IIS default SMTP server might be occupying the port to which James connects. If you have trouble connecting to the James Mail Server, shut down the IIS SMTP server.
  5. Launch a command prompt window and, at the C: prompt, enter: telnet localhost 4555.
  6. In the James Remote Administration window, enter:
    • Login ID: root
    • Password: root
  7. Add the e-mail users using the adduser command, for example:

    adduser user1 pass123

    adduser manager1 pass1234

    adduser multiplexer pass12345

  8. Enter quit when you are finished adding e-mail users.
