OK.. some answers:
finger/autorespond: no
DNS: Only if you want to be able to send email out to the net. one or more valid DNS servers
IP Home: no
Local host: what do you want the server to announce itself as to other servers? example: xxx.nothing.com
allow relay: again, only if you want to be able to send email out to the net.
local domains: If this is going to be a productional server, absoutely, otherwise you can't receive email. local domain would be example.com. user would be "email"(in your example)
SMTP authentication: yes, unless you want to be an "open relay" and allow spammers to send their junk through your server.
There should be several documents out there on how to set up the server, rather than us trying to give a complete tutorial here in the forum. have you looked for any "how to's"?

The email was delivered to your mailbox. You should be able to click on that user and view the mailbox. Now you'll have to configure a POP3 email clicent to receive the email(s)...

If you can find those then I will use it.
I have googled for days and nothing works, ever.
There should be a step by step guide on the ArGoSoft site - no luck. |

Which mailbox? mine? I didn't get any mail, except from this forum.

I give up it's taken an hour too much already.
Thanks for trying to help out.
Until Argosoft has a proper tutorial then there is no point for use to use this complicated software.
I appreciate your time taken.
Cheers

The email was delivered to your mailbox on the argo server. It's sitting there waiting for you to retrieve it. I'm not sure that I understand how argo was supposed to "deliver" it to you? It did what you asked it to do, and delivered the email that you sent to the email address that you sent it to. Until you configure some email client to receive email from that server, it'll wait in the mailbox on the server.
It sounds like you have the server pretty well configured, but now you need to configure an email client to go get the email(s).(or look at them via the web server) |

Ok I get what you mean, thanks.
I set up Outlook Express to get the dummy mail from the folder.
It's a nice tool for developers to test their mail scripts, NEAT!!!
Thanks!

| Mail Server v1.0.5.9 | |
Mail Server
- Added additonal tracking of connections for SMTP and POP3: if they stay on for over 30 minutes, they are
getting disconnected;
- Fixed a problem with mailbags when they accept mail only when main server is down: in case of timeout
mailbags were still treating the main server as "available" and rejecting mail;
- Changed color coding of logs. Now red denotes only errors, delivery is green, POP3, SMTP, IMAP
connections - blue;
Web Interface
-
Fixed a problem, when session timeouts were causing errors in the windows system logs;

| Mail Server Pro v1.8.9.6 |
- Improved Export to .NET function - sometimes email messages were not getting exported, because
the database of email messages was not up to date. Now each folder gets rebuilt before the export
function;

| Email Address Validator | We have discontinued our email address validation service, and launched new web site:
http://www.emailaddressvalidator.com
It provides the web service interface to validate lists of email addresses. We hope that our service will help to reduce unwanted traffic on Internet, ensuring that mail is sent only to valid and legitimate addresses.
Sign up now, and get 150 free validations!

| Mail Server v1.0.5.8 | |
Mail Server
- Mailbags now have an option to accept mail only when specified server is down - will help to fight
with spam which attempt to deliver mail bypassing the main server;
- When delivering mail, if main exchanger returns 4xx reply (temporary problem), the server will not
try other exchangers, will retry later the main exchanger;
- Server options moved from registry to a XML file. 64 bit versions of Vista and 2008 server appear
to be having access rights problems to the Windows registry, and the change will make our server more
compatible with 64 bit versions;
- Added an option to specify the number of lines on the log screen, when using the user interface.
Was causing memory problems if left running for long time;
- Fixed couple of problems, which were showing when SQL server was set up to use
case sensitive SQL statements;
- Made changes in the remoting interface to allow logging in using aliases;
Web Interface
- Made changes to allow logging in using aliases;
- When viewing folders, web interface now displays the name of logged in user;
