Remote Administration for Hexamail POP3 Downloader on Windows

This is a guide to setting up Remote Administration for Hexamail POP3 Downloader on a Windows machine.

Let's break the guide into some easy steps:

You will need:

• - a computer with plenty some disk space (>500MB) for storing configuration, log files, and statistics
• - a 64bit or 32bit Windows operating system (Anything over Windows 2k is still supported!)
• - a permanent/reliable connection to the Internet

You will need:

• - Administrator access or access allowing installation software

Next you need to download the required software and copy it to your chosen computer.

• 1) Download the remote admin for your product hexamailpop3downloaderadmin.exe or hexamailpop3downloaderadmin_64.exe and save the installer exe file and your license on the computer
• 2) Run the hexamailpop3downloaderadmin.exe (or hexamailpop3downloaderadmin_64.exe) file by double clicking on it.
The Installer copies files and sets up services
• 3) You can choose the installation folder at this point
• 4) The installer copies the necessary files and creates shortcuts to the Windows Administration GUI

Now you need to allow the Remote Administration interface to access your server

• On the SERVER open up the local Administration GUI and go to the Remote Admin page
