How to set up my mail server

I have a Mac Mini with Mac OS X Lion Server 10.7.2 at home. I'm trying to move away from a Windows SBS 2003 with MS Mail Exchange 2003. Because I learned this stuff by setting up the Windows Server, I am trying to follow a similar approach with the Mac Server. (I understand I may have to re-train may brain.) I set up the Mac Mini with a local domain. My setup is primarily for family use, so I did not see a need for registering a public domain. (I've had the Windows setup running since 2003 and all has been fine with that setup.) We have several desktops, and laptops around the house, so I want for everyone to be able to log in to any desktop/laptop they find and still be able to read/send e-mails under their own mail account and keep the mail folder structure they have created. I'm trying for Mac Mail Server to receive all e-mail for all users (mail is provided by our ISP - Verizon.net; some users have more than one e-mail address), for clients to pull mail from the Mac Mail Server (via Mac Mail, or MS Outlook), the clients would send mail ) via the configured SMTP locally, and all the mail forlders to synchronize back to the Mac Mail Server for when the user logs in from another machine. Is that possible? If so, how? I recall that in Windows SBS 2003 I configured a POP Connector that receives all the mail for all the users and I designated a domain user to send the mail to. MS Exchange would take care of sychronizing the mail folders between the client connection and the mail server. I bought the Mac Mini, a Time Capsule and an iMac to start my transition, but I'm not sure I'll be able to duplicate what I had with MS Exchange.

Sorry, I know it is more a microsoft problem, but it happened when I tried to set up my icloud mail on my pc.

How to set up a mail server with a private DNS and relay over a public mail

How to set up the mail server that we can send and pick up emails inside and outside?
Our private network has the DNS name dnsname1.private.
We have our privat DNS Server and he can forward requests to outside over our router.
Our public emails are hosted by an internet provider. This dns name is dnsname2.com and dnsname2.org.
How we have to set up our mail server that we can pick up our emails from our public dnsname2.com?
And when we write an email how we have to set up it that the dnsname is dansname2.com and not dnsname1.private?

If you want to move your mailservice to your own (internal) server, start by making sure you can recieve traffic on port TCP 25 (SMTP). Some ISPs blocks this port, especially on "non business" connections.
Can you send mail from your LAN directly to where your mail is hosted using port 25 TCP or do you have to relay via your ISP?
You have a static public IP?

You need to get the settings for your email from your email provider and enter them in Internet Accounts (System Preferences). Many of the common systems are already available, all you need is a password and an email address to set them up.

Can't SEND email from Telus account in Alberta, Canada, unless I go to web mail. Does anyone know how to set up the Outgoing server? Incoming is fine. Outgoing used to work. We changed it when we went to another location, and can't get it back. Telus support can't fix it. Neither smtp.telus.net NOR mail.telus.net works for Outgoing server to send mail. Please help!

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

HOW TO: Set up your application server to run BC4J

How To set up your application server to run BC4J.
INTRODUCTION
A running BC4J application is actually the combination of:
* Your own application files
* BC4J runtime libraries
In order to successfully run your BC4J application in local mode, the first requirement is
that your application server contains the necessary BC4J libraries.
This How To describes the steps required to ensure that you have a functional
BC4J runtime environment installed on your application server.
Oracle IAS 1.0.2 and Tomcat 3.1 will be used as examples.
THE BC4J RUNTIME LIBRARIES
Whatever application server you deploy to, the following libraries
are required in the following order to be in the classpath.
BC4J Libraries:
xmlparserv2.jar
jdev-rt.zip
jbojdbcpatch.zip
connectionmanager.zip
jbohtml.zip
jboimdomains.zip
ordim817.zip
ordvir817.zip
ordhttp.zip
jbomt.zip
jbodomorcl.zip
jboremote.zip
jndi.jar
jbodatum12.zip
These libraries can be found in <JDEV_HOME>/lib/
INSTALLING THE LIBRARIES ON IAS:
Installing the libraries is simply a matter of copying them to the
application server's filesystem and adding them to the classpath.
IAS's classpath can be modified by editing the file:
<IAS_HOME>\Apache\Jserv\conf\jserv.properties
In this file you'll find the existing pre-installed BC4J libraries which
looks like this:
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\lib\ordvir817.zip
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\lib\ordim817.zip
etc.
Note! These BC4J libraries correspond to JDeveloper 3.1.1.
In order to run JDev 3.2 based applications you will have to update these libraries
to JDeveloper 3.2 production.
Steps:
1. Copy (or FTP) the JDev 3.2 BC4J libraries from <JDEV_HOME>\lib to a NEW directory on the
appserver's filesystem called:
<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\newlib
2. Modify the classpath by editing <IAS_HOME>\Apache\Jserv\conf\jserv.properties.
Example: (modified classpath entries)
# New 3.2 BC4J Runtime libraries
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\newlib\xmlparserv2.jar
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\newlib\jdev-rt.zip
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\newlib\jbojdbcpatch.zip
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\newlib\connectionmanager.zip
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\newlib\jbohtml.zip
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\newlib\jboimdomains.zip
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\newlib\ordim817.zip
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\newlib\ordvir817.zip
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\newlib\ordhttp.zip
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\newlib\jbomt.zip
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\newlib\jbodomorcl.zip
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\newlib\jboremote.zip
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\newlib\jndi.jar
wrapper.classpath=<IAS_HOME>\Apache\BC4J\newlib\jbodatum12.zip
Note: Make sure to remove or comment out the existing 3.1.1 BC4J library entries!
To see the changes, you must restart IAS and that's it, your IAS will be updated with
the JDev 3.2 BC4J libraries which allow you to run BC4J Data Tags among other
things!
INSTALLING THE LIBRARIES ON TOMCAT
As before, this process involves both the copying of the libraries
and modifying the classpath.
After copying the BC4J libraries to a path accessible from Tomcat,
you can modify Tomcat's classpath by editing it's startup script:
<TOMCAT_HOME>\bin\tomcat.bat (NT)
<TOMCAT_HOME>\bin\tomcat.sh (Unix)
Here is a portion of a modified tomcat.bat (on NT)
rem Add BC4J libraries
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\bc4j_lib\xmlparserv2.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\bc4j_lib\jdev-rt.zip
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\bc4j_lib\jbojdbcpatch.zip
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\bc4j_lib\connectionmanager.zip
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\bc4j_lib\jbohtml.zip
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\bc4j_lib\jboimdomains.zip
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\bc4j_lib\or dim817.zip
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\bc4j_lib\ordvir817.zip
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\bc4j_lib\ordhttp.zip
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\bc4j_lib\jbomt.zip
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\bc4j_lib\jbodomorcl.zip
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\bc4j_lib\jboremote.zip
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\bc4j_lib\jndi.jar
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\bc4j_lib\jbodatum12.zip
rem Add Oracle JDBC library
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;D:\bc4j_lib\classes12.zip
Note: I also added the Oracle JDBC library since Tomcat does not have it.
It is found at:
<JDEV_HOME>\jdbc\lib\oracle8.1.7\classes12.zip
And That's It!
When Tomcat is restarted using this script, the necessary BC4J libraries
will be in the classpath..
A follow up How To:"How To Deploy a BC4J JSP Application on IAS and Tomcat"
will be posted shortly!

In the JDK 1.3 APi docs, i found that TimerTask was introduced only in JDK 1.3
Does this mean that BC4J (in jdev 9031) will only work
with JDK 1.3 or later?
Thanks for your time.

You say you have the pse 5 disk?
I guess you do't have a dvd drive on your new windows 8 computer?
Do you have access to another computer with a dvd drive?
Anyway if you can find another computer with a dvd drive you could copy the pse 5 install disc to removable device like a camera card or flash drive.
You can also buy cheap usb dvd drives.

Setting up a mail server on a 2010 MacMini Server

Hi,
I am having great difficulty in setting up my Mail server on my 2010 MM server.   Setup is as follows:
1. Domain name hosted by dyndns.org with mail forwarding setup to forward incoming mail to my mail address <[email protected]>
2. Outgoing mail is being sent from the server via my local ISP using their relay server
3. Mail Server settings in Server app shown as "Provide mail for: mail.domainname.org"
4. Authentication set to: "Relay outgoing mail through ISP"
5. dyndns.com confirm that the domain host side is set up correctly.
6. Local ISP confirms that local relay service is set up correctly.
Problem is Mail account cannot be activated in Apple Mail.    email setup details in my server Mail app are as follows:
     Account Type:    POP
     Email address:   [email protected]
     Full Name:         my name
     Incoming Mail Server:   mail.domainname.org
      User Name:      admin
      Password:        password on the dynsdyn.com srever
      Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP):   Local ISP providers mail relay service
Has anyone any idea where this setup is wrong?   Also, I am unable to find a server manual for OSX 10.8.4 server. Does anyone know where I can get this?
Any help you can give is most appreciated.
Thank in advance
Roger

Hi Linc,
For the email address on the server, I create the account in my Apple mail in the normal way. I fill in the details shown on the accounts setup panel as shown in my original post above. I then click on the "Enable this account" button but it does not connect to anywhere.
For the Server setup, this is also described in points 3. and 4. above.
The result is that the server seems to be setup properly but this may not be the case, which is why I asked my questions.
Sorry I cannot be more explicit but if you are willing to ask deeper questions that might point to the problem, I would be more that delighted to supply the answers if I can.

Is there someplace I can learn how to set up e-mail?

I am not very technical, and have just got the new i-phone 3G, Is there any place where there are step by step easy instructions on how to set up e-mail? Thanks

Depending on your email provider, most of them have instructions how to setup in Apple Mail or Microsoft Outlook. The instructions/settings are the same for the iPhone.
Others, like Gmail and AOL have built-in setup guides in the iPhone.
Who is your email provider? The first step is to visit their web site and look under their support section for the appropriate email settings.
