Importing the Plug-in

To import the plug-in, select Import Plug-in from the File menu of the WorkgroupMail administrator. In the first page of the Import Plug-in Wizard, enter the location of the plug-in DLL. In the next page, enter the progid of the plug-in, which in the case of the sample plug-in is sampleplugin.engine . Press Finish to complete the import.
