4) Configuring Hexamail Vault for the first time

If you chose the option to run the application immediately on installation, the setup wizard will now start. The wizard guides you through the essential configuration steps.

If you have not yet installed a license, Hexamail Vault will ask you if you wish to look for a license file. Click yes and browse to the license file you have saved, follow the licensing instructions.

5) Configuring essential settings of Hexamail Vault

We strongly recommend using the setup wizard to configure the essential settings of Hexamail Vault.
The wizard will run directly after the installation.
You can rerun the wizard at any time by selecting Hexamail Vault Setup from the Windows Start Menu.
Help with the wizard can be obtained by pressing F1 on your keyboard or by clicking the Help button once the Wizard is running or here.

6) Testing your setup

Now that you have configured the basic settings you should test your setup. You can do this by sending an email through Archiver. Configure an email client to send emails using the server hostname and port Archiver is running on (the smtpserver settings, as above in step (c)). We show Outlook Express here by way of example. Choose Continue on the service control panel on the Archiver Administration. Send an email using the email client to your existing mailbox/user on your existing email server. Check that the email is archived by looking at the statistics page. It may take a few minutes to be picked up.
