How can I setup a mail service?

Any answers are appreciated. Links, pictures, diagrams and videos are very much appreciated

You'll need static IP from your ISP.  Attempting this with dynamic DNS is commonly attempted, far more difficult, and you'll generally need to use a relay service — no matter what you do with a dynamic IP connection, other mail servers will interpret your DNS configuration as that of a spam engine, and drop mail from your server, and also sometimes mail sent to your server.  
For this and other operations on OS X Server on a NAT'd network, local DNS services are a prerequisite.  After local DNS has been verified with sudo changeip -checkhostname then set up external (public) DNS services (host name and MX record) for your mail server.  To verify that DNS, use the dig commands (see any or all of the links below).
There are other discussions of setting up mail server here in the OS X Server forum, as well — here and here and here are some of the various existing discussions.

  • How can I setup a mail-specific passcode/restriction on iPad used by multiple family members?

    How can I setup a mail-specific passcode/restriction on iPad used by multiple family members?
    Have an Exchange mail account setup and accessible in my mail on iPad... however my kids use it and i would like to restrict them from accessing this specific portion of the device.  I tried viewing restriction options and do not see that i can apply a restriction specifically to Mail.  Thanks for your help.

    Not a feature of iOS. Check the AppStore to see if there are other
    mail apps that allow passcode protection.
    Or use Safari to log onto your email via a web-based interface and
    enter your credentials each time. A bit slower, but the kids will
    not know the details to login.

  • How can I copy the Mail "rules" I have already setup on my old MacBook over to the new machine?

    Setting up my new MacBook Pro. How can I copy the Mail "rules" I have already setup on my old MacBook over to the new machine?
    Is there a file I can copy & paste?

    Thanks Barry & all,
    Is it enough to just copy the rule-related files ??
    i.e.
    Library/Mail/V2/MailData/RulesActiveState.plist
    Library/Mail/V2/MailData/SyncedRules.plist
    Library/Mail/V2/MailData/UnsyncedRules.plist
    What you suggest copies the local mailbox content + all the settings ...
    while what I need is much less... and I'd like to be able to sync rules also in the future
    by copying something light and simple ... not the entire Library/Mail folder
    Many thanks,
    Stefania

  • HT1918 how can i setup  my account without a credit card

    how can i setup  my account without a credit card

    Thanks SniperKat but I don't know why for some reason the "NONE" disappeared...
    I started to create an account and when I saw the credit card thing I just clicked back and back and so I closed the browser... every free app or something free I get it appears a window : " You have to review some of your information about your account" .... but I don't have an account yet because I didn't create it.... the only solution is to create a new e-mail account and go to iTunes store and create a new account with the new e-mail and be very carefull with the "Free app" this time...

  • How do I setup additional mail boxes?

    How do I setup additional mail boxes?

    If you mean additional email accounts then Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account
    If mean email folders under an account, then at the moment you can't do it directly in the Mail app. If it's an IMAP type account then you should be able to login to your account on a browser and create them there, and they should then appears in the Mail app. If it's a POP type account then unfortunately you're stuck with what you've got. With iOS 5 later this year then (from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#more) :

  • Hello! How can i setup and what to enable that my secretary has my shared calendar on her Iphone and that she can edit it? We are on Exchange 2010, Outlook 2010, Iphone 4s. Can it be done through some app? Thank you!

    Hello! How can i setup and what to enable that my secretary has my shared calendar on her Iphone and that she can edit it? We are on Exchange 2010, Outlook 2010, Iphone 4s. Can it be done through some app? Thank you! I'm trying to avoid creating my exchange activesync account on her Iphone and then sync only my calendar.

    Thank you for your time. I'm trying to avoid that because she can then simply turn on mail syncronization and then she could read my mail. Another reason is our password policy, that enforces changing our windows logon password every 90 days. Of course changing windows logon passwords demands changing exchange account logon info (password) on Iphone. I have read somwhere that there was an app but it was removed from app store. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

  • TS2776 How can I transfer e-mail contacts from one IPad to another?

    How can I transfer e-mail contacts from one IPad to another?

    Depends on how big the file is.  If itis only a couple of pages, or mostly text, the easiest way would be to e mail it.  If it is a very large file you are going to need wifi.  Take both pads to starbucks, and e mail it from there.  Or if you have wifi, use drop box, for example. 
    Your other choice, avoiding wifi would be a bluetooth type transfer.  There is an app call bluetooth file lite that reads like it will do what you need.   The good news is it is free.  The bad news is that it has terrible ratings.  For grins, i am installing it now on a pad and a phone, and will see if it works.
    With a bluetooth method, you need both devices in  the same place.  If you are trying to send your file across country, bluetooth will not work for you.  you need e mail or drop box type solution, and if the file is big, you will almost certainly need wifi.

  • If I have two email accounts, one personal hotmail account and one MS Exchange work account, how can I setup individual notifications for each account. Right now, any email from any account has the same notification. I want work to be different than perso

    If I have two email accounts, one personal hotmail account and one MS Exchange work account on my iPhone 4s, How can I setup individual notifications for each account? Fore example, if I get a work email, I want to hear a DING, DING....If I get a personal email, I want to hear a BEEP, BEEP. Right now, any email from any account has the same notification. I want work incoming email notification to be different than personal incoming notification. The only semi-workaround I've seen is just disable any notification for the Hotmail account, so only work emails would notify. But then I don't know when I get a personal email. Even the lowely Blackberry Torch 9800 has this feature..not iPhone 4s??
    Thanks

    Sorry you get only one notification sound for all email accounts.  you can send a suggestion to apple here http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • I have multiple computers and iPhones and now iTunes will not allow my wife to load applications or use her own iTunes playlists.  How can I setup each device for each user correctly?

    We have multiple computers and iPhone devices which I have passed on to other family members, such as my wife.  Now she is not able to load apps to her devices, eventhough it appear she is logged into her own iTunes account.  How can I setup iTunes correctly on each device?  Currently, there is one PC and one Mac laptop and we each have iPhones, with one other family member not able to use his 'passed-down' device for iTunes, also.

    Hello dal1820
    Check out the article below on how to use multiple devices with one computer. The main idea that I want to point out is to have different users for each person as it is the easy way to make sure that no issue happen when syncing.

  • How can i check my mails on the iphone and make sure that the mail wont pop up again on my computer ?

    How can i check my mails on the iphone and make sure that the mail wont pop up again on my computer/ will be deleted on the server ?

    For that kind of connectivity you need to be using an email account configured either as IMAP or Exchange.
    IMAP & Exchange accounts will maintain a sync across all your devices, so if you read / delete a message on your phone, it will disappear from the server as well. This cannot happen in POP email accounts.
    If your using gmail, instructions on how to set up exchange / imap are here http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740&topic=14252
    Alternatively, if its anything other than Google, you will need to contact your email providor or IT department (if your email address resides with an enterprise environment) to get the correct settings.
    Hope this helps!
