13.3.1 Starting a Mailbox Server

To start the POP3 and/or IMAP servers, you must have the Service Dispatcher start the service.

If you are already running the Service Dispatcher, then restart it so that it sees the configuration change with the OpenVMS command


$ PMDF RESTART DISPATCHER
or the UNIX command


# pmdf restart dispatcher
or the NT command


C:\> pmdf restart dispatcher

If you were not previously running the Service Dispatcher, start it with the OpenVMS command


$ PMDF STARTUP DISPATCHER
or the UNIX command


# pmdf startup dispatcher
or the NT command


C:\> pmdf startup dispatcher


On OpenVMS, if you want the IMAP or POP3 servers to start during system startup, then you must execute the PMDF STARTUP DISPATCHER command in your system startup procedure after your network software has started and after pmdf_startup.com has been run.

On UNIX, the PMDF installation procedure ensures that the Service Dispatcher is started automatically during system startup, therefore starting up the POP and IMAP servers, if the Service Dispatcher is configured to handle these services.
