New to Windows NT Server version 4.0 and Windows NT Workstation version 4.0 is a universal inbox client (also referred to as Windows Messaging client) that can send and receive electronic mail. The inbox client organizes, accesses, and stores all types of information. For example, you can open the Inbox on the Windows NT desktop to read, compose, forward, and delete messages, or to create automatic replies and other notification policies based on individual preferences.
The Windows NT Inbox is optimized for use with Microsoft Exchange Server and Microsoft Exchange clients. However, because it is a universal inbox client, you can use it with different mail systems and mail client software, including MailSrv.
Mail client software — for example, the Windows Messaging client — must be installed on each computer supported by the computer running the MailSrv tool under Windows NT Server. After the mail client software is installed, you must enable Internet mail service. For example, to enable Internet mail service by using the Windows Messaging client, follow the procedure in the Help topic "Installing an Information Service."
