If you change any of the parameters on this page, before you leave the page, you must click Enter to save your changes. After you have made all the changes in your editing session, you must stop and restart the web server for the changes to take effect. See the procedure "To Stop and Restart the Web Server on the i-Planet Server" in Chapter 3, Other Administrative Tasks.

Clicking the NetMail link displays the NetMail Default Configuration page for new users. It consists of two sections: Default Values for New NetMail Users - Overridden by user preferences and Default Values for New NetMail Users - Not overridden by user preferences.

The mail feature of NetFile from the i-Planet Desktop uses the preferences set by NetMail. Outgoing mail will be sent using the SMTP server that is defined in NetMail. You can change the mail settings through the NetMail preference dialogue or the end user can change them on the Preference page of the i-Planet Desktop.

• Default Values for New NetMail Users - Overridden by user preference is shown in Figure 2-9.
