  • Enter the IP address of the MailSite server, also enter details of a mailbox which has been granted Server level privileges

  • Ensure the HTTPMA service is running*
  • Ensure you have a mailbox with "Domain" or "Server" privileges
  • In your browser enter your IP address and the port number of HTTPMA e.g http://mail.server.com:90/
