Hi,

In this blog article, we are going to see how to install Xeams extended mail and messaging server in ubuntu 16.04

There would not be much deviation from the installation procedure between version of Opertating System, the same procedure can be adopted for other OSes with little bit or no tweaks...

So, lets start the show....

Prerequisites
Name Version Download Page Direct Link
Java 1.7 N/A N/A

From the above prerequisite section we are going to discuss only about the installation of Xeams but not Java.

To Install Java, there are plenty of resource available online, Please refer the one appropriate to you.

1. Installation of Xeams Mail Server
Form the downloads page or using the direct link, download the Xeams extended Mail and Messaging server and put it in a preferred location you like. What you download would be a .tar file, please extract the same

Open a terminal and navigate to the folder where you have extracted the package.

At the prompt, fire the following command to install the Mail Server

Please sit back and relax till the execution completes, which would hardly take a minute.

This installation would also install a service, which takes care of starting the service at the machine startup.

You can find the service at the below mentioned location...

2.  Server Configuration

In order to configure the server, open a browser and hit the following address in the address bar

The server configuration requires certain details in order to function correctly, which would also ask you to set the administrator account to maintain the server.

Administrator Details
The first page asks you the details for a administrator, provide the same and click next to proceed.



Server Type
The next configuration item is the server type, select the one appropriate to you, In my case I have selected the standalone type and click next to proceed.



Domain Setup
The third items is the domain setup, you can key in the domain name if you have one and click next to proceed.



Verification
The last part is the verification page, Please check the details which you have provided are correct



Logout from the application using logout menu item in Home Menu and Log back in.

You would see the administrator control panel page like the one given in the image below...



There are plenty other options to configure, have a walk thru if you want to configure the required features for the installation
