    FirstMail Installation For DOS and Macintosh 
----------------------------------------------------------------

Steps required for FirstMail installation.

   (1) Install FirstMail for DOS.
   (2) Configure your NetWare server for Macintosh access.
   (3) Install FirstMail for Macintosh.

The following sections describe these steps chronologically.

FirstMail Installation (DOS)

The following instructions will help you to install and
configure the FirstMail application. These step-by-step
procedures will allow you to quickly and easily configure
a basic installation to support electronic mail.


Installing FirstMail (DOS)

*     The Basic MHS installation process will automatically 
      install the FirstMail for DOS and FirstMail for MAC 
      files in the SYS:\PUBLIC directory on your server.
*     Verify that your MV variable points to the 
      <Server\Vol:Path> where the \MHS\MAIL\USERS directory 
      can be found.
*     Verify the \MHS\EXE directory is in the system path.
*     FirstMail's default configuration should be adequate for 
      most purposes.  If you experience problems or find that 
      changes need to be made, use the Fmconfig.exe program 
      located in the \PUBLIC directory to alter the default 
      settings.  Do not attempt this unless there is a reason 
      to believe the default settings are incorrect for your 
      particular configuration. The utility 'Unconfig.exe' 
      will remove all configuration settings and allow you to 
      re-configure FirstMail with the BasicMHS default 
      settings. This should only be done when all else fails.


The following is an example of changes which may be required 
should you experience problems with FirstMail.

Global Configuration of FirstMail (DOS)

*     Change to the \PUBLIC directory.
*     Run "FMconfig.exe"
*     Select the option "NetWare MHS/SMF Interface".
*     Make the following changes to the respective options:

      o    Default work group:   Enter the NGM default workgroup
                                 for this server. {EXAMPLE: 
                                 Sherwood.lionheart}
                                 Note: This field is not 
                                 mandatory in Basic MHS
      o    Use SMFSEND?:         Enter "N".
      o    SMF-71 available?:    Enter "Y" .
      o    UTC time value:       Enter your offset from GMT in 
                                 the form  -XXXX
                                 {EXAMPLE: -0800}
      o    MHS path for DOS:     This will default to your 
                                 %MV% variable.

*     Press <Ctrl-Enter> and select "Y" to the prompt 
        "Accept this data?".
*     Select "N" and press <Enter> to bypass registration of 
        FirstMail with Basic MHS.  This can be done using the 
        Basic MHS Admin program, if desired.
*     Select "X" to exit and save your configurations.

      NOTE: The System Administrator will be required to add 
            FIRST as the NGM users preferred application from 
            within ADMIN if this is desirable. By default, MHS 
            is the preferred application.

Configuration of Personal Preferences for FirstMail (DOS)

*     Each user has the option to select personal 
      configurations for FirstMail.
*     The following will be the basic configuration options 
      which a user may wish to alter.
*     Login to the server as a registered NGM user.
*     Run "Mail.exe".
*     Highlight the "Preferences" menu option and press <Enter>.
*     Highlight the "General Preferences" menu option and press 
      <Enter>.

      o    Personal name:  Enter your full name here.
                           {EXAMPLE: Robin Hood}.

      o    Work directory: If you specify a directory in this 
                           field, then FirstMail will 
                           automatically change to that 
                           directory every time you run the 
                           program. This can be useful if you 
                           tend to store extracted messages or 
                           mail-related files in a particular
                           place.

      o    Press <Ctrl-Enter> and select "Y" to accept changes.

*     Highlight the "NetWare MHS/SMF settings" menu option and 
      press <Enter>.
*     Make the following changes to the respective options:

      o    My SMF/MHS user name:     This is your full Email 
                                     address.
                                     {EXAMPLE:  
                                     Robin@Sherwood.lionheart}

      o    My SMF/MHS mailbox name:  This is the name of your 
                                     MHS mail box in the 
                                     directory 
                                     %MV%\MHS\MAIL\USERS.
                                     {EXAMPLE: Robin}

      o    My application name:      This should be "FIRST" if 
                                     you have defined "FIRST" 
                                     as the users "Preferred
                                     Application" from within 
                                     the Admin program. By 
                                     default this is MHS.

      o    Scan the MHS user dir?:   Select "Y". (This will 
                                     allow scanning for mail 
                                     in the MHS mailbox even 
                                     if your application name 
                                     is different. EX: FIRST)

      o    Press <Ctrl-Enter> and select "Y" to accept changes.

*     This is the minimum configuration required to 
      successfully use FirstMail to generate Email messages. 
      For information concerning "Personal Preferences" refer 
      to the "Users.txt" manual.


FirstMail Installation (MAC)

To perform the FirstMail for Macintosh installation, follow the
instructions above for "Installing FirstMail)" and "Global 
Configuration of FirstMail" for DOS. Once FirstMail has been 
installed and configured on the NetWare file server you can 
continue with the following installation procedures. 
Installation of the FirstMail for Macintosh software assumes 
the following NetWare configurations have been completed.

*     NetWare for MAC has been correctly installed on the 
      NetWare server.
*     The correct Appletalk Zone and NetWare file server have 
      been configured on your Macintosh system.
*     You are attached to the NetWare server from the 
      Macintosh as a registered NGM user.
*     For information regarding any of the above 
      configurations, please refer to the following manuals:

      o    "NetWare for Macintosh - Installation and Maintenance"
           (Novell P.N. - 100-000914-002)
      o    "NetWare for Macintosh - Basic Operations"
           (Novell P.N. - 100-000913-002)


Installing FirstMail/MAC

*     The Basic MHS installation has copied the file Mac-Mail.exe
      to the \PUBLIC directory.  Perform the following steps in 
      order to copy FirstMail for MAC from the NetWare server to
      a Macintosh.

      1.   From the \PUBLIC directory type Mac-Mail.exe. There 
           will now be a file named FirstMai.sea in the 
           \PUBLIC directory. This is a Macintosh self 
           extracting archive. From the Macintosh the file will 
           be recognized as FirstMail1.1.sea.                    
      2.   Login from the Macintosh to your NetWare server.
      3.   Copy the file FirstMail1.1.sea from the server to 
           the local Macintosh hard drive.
      4.   Double click on the file FirstMail1.1.sea. This 
           will generate a new folder on the Macintosh called 
           FirstMail1.1. This new folder contains all 
           FirstMail for MAC files. (Repeat steps 2 thru 4 for
           every Macinstosh user that wishes to use FirstMail 
           for MAC.

*     The System Administrator will want to verify that the 
      following configurations are set by running the 
      FirstMail Config program. The System Administrator must 
      be logged into the NetWare server as a supervisor 
      equivalent in order to run FirstMail Config.

      o   General Setup:

          Path to base of NetWare MHS/SMF directory tree:
          (Ex: If the MHS mailboxes are stored on Vol1 of 
          Mailserver1, this field would contain " 
          Mailserver1.Vol1: ")

      o   NetWare SMF (MHS) Setup:

          Are you using an SMF-71 transport?  (This box must 
          be checked)

          FirstMail will store this information along with the 
          DOS configuration information in the NetWare bindery 
          where it can be accessed by all FirstMail users. 


Configuration of Personal Preferences for FirstMail/MAC
 
*     Each user has the option to select personal configurations
      for FirstMail. The following will be the basic 
      configuration options which a user may wish to alter.
*     Open the "FirstMail 1.1" folder.
*     Double Click on the "FirstMail" icon to begin FirstMail.
*     Highlight the "Main Folder" and click on OPEN.
*     Open the "FILE" menu and highlight the "Preferences"
      option. Move to the "General Preferences" menu option 
      and select.

      o    Personal name:  Enter your full name here.  
           {EXAMPLE: Robin Hood}
      o    Click on any options you wish to enforce.
      o    Click on OK to save settings.

*     Open the "FILE" menu and highlight the "Preferences" 
      option. Move to the "NetWare SMF (MHS) settings...."  
      menu option and select.
*     Make the following changes to the respective options:

      o    SMF/MHS user name:       This is your full Email 
                                    address.
                                    {EXAMPLE:  
                                    Robin@Sherwood.lionheart}

      o    SMF/MHS mailbox name:    This is the name of your 
                                    MHS mail box in the 
                                    directory
                                    %MV%\MHS\MAIL\USERS.  
                                    {EXAMPLE:  Robin}

      o    My SMF application name: This should be "FIRST" if 
                                    you have defined "FIRST" 
                                    as the users "Preferred
                                    Application" from within 
                                    the Admin program. By 
                                    default this is MHS.
                                    
      o    Scan the MHS app dir for new mail?  Check this box. 
                                    This will allow scanning 
                                    for mail in the MHS mailbox 
                                    even if your application
                                    name is different.
                                    (EX: FIRST)

      o    Click on OK to save settings.

*     This is the minimum configuration required to 
      successfully use FirstMail for the MAC to generate Email 
      messages. For information concerning "Personal 
      Preferences" refer to the MAC manuals: "FirstMail Manual 
      (1,2,3,4)".
