13.2.2 Configuring Mailbox Servers

In order to use PMDF POP3 or IMAP servers, the PMDF Service Dispatcher must be configured to handle the service. The Service Dispatcher configuration file is normally dispatcher.cnf located in the PMDF table directory. There are also optional mailbox server specific configuration files, normally imapd.cnf and pop3d.cnf for the legacy mailbox servers or imappop.cnf for the PMDF MessageStore mailbox servers, that are used to control various server options. The PMDF mailbox servers configuration utility should be used to generate the necessary initial POP3 and/or IMAP service definitions for inclusion in the PMDF Service Dispatcher configuration file, and to generate initial POP3 and/or IMAP server configuration files. See the appropriate edition of the PMDF Installation Guide for instructions and an example of using this utility.

Once the Dispatcher configuration file has been modified to include the new service definitions, and any desired server configuration options have been set, you must restart the PMDF Service Dispatcher so that it will start the new services, or start it if it was not running previously; see Section 13.3 below for details.
