Setting Up for VISTA Plus e-mail
This section describes the setup required before users can send e-mail from VISTA Plus for
Windows MPE. The e-mail function is available with version 2.2 and higher.
It is the VISTA Plus administrator’s responsibility to set up each VISTA Plus client to interface
with the e-mail MAPI using a MAPI *.DLL obtained from a third-party vendor. Both MS Mail and
cc:Mail use the MAPI interface, which is installed with the mail provider.
The administrator can also define an aging rule for e-mail generations in the Server Configuration
File. Setup of the aging rule is covered at the end of this section.
