Adding a New User

To add a new user, press the toolbar button . A New User wizard is displayed showing the Details page.

Enter the full name of the user into the Name field. An auto-generated account name will appear in the Account Name field in the Local POP3 information section. The contents of the account name and password fields represent the information that must be entered into a local POP3 mail client in order to retrieve this user's e-mail from WorkgroupMail into the mail client. You may change the account name and password to any values that you prefer. Pressing Next will display the ISP Accounts page.

This page shows the list of ISPs that you have already defined. For each ISP, tick the corresponding tick box if this user receives mail from that ISP. If the user does not receive mail from a particular ISP then leave the corresponding tick box un-ticked. When you tick one of the tick boxes, a message box will be shown informing you that the user has not been assigned an appropriate mailbox with the ISP.

Press Yes to specify the mailbox.

Entering a mailbox name, effectively defines this user's e-mail address for the corresponding ISP.

If the user has an individual POP3 account with this ISP then select the POP3 Details tab and select the Mail for user is collected from the ISP… radio button and enter the appropriate user name and password required to access the POP3 account.

Press OK to save your changes and press Next on the ISP Accounts page to continue. The last page shown is the Forwarding page.

This page lets you specify whether or not e-mail arriving for this user will be forwarded or copied to another user or e-mail address. If mail arriving for this user is to be forwarded to another user then select the Forward to user radio button and select the appropriate user. If mail arriving for this user is to be forwarded to an external e-mail address then select the Forward to address radio button and enter the e-mail address into the adjacent field. If you have specified to forward this user's e-mail but you also want this user to receive a copy of each message then tick the This user should keep a copy of the message tick box.

Pressing Finish will save the details that you entered for this user and will add the user to the list of users in the WorkgroupMail Administrator.
