I've gotten James up and running, and through various trials and tribulations of configurations I've been able to send and receive mail back and forth between myself on 2 local accounts using Outlook. Also, have been able to send and receive mail from these local accounts to my hotmail account here.. However, I'll need to continue the trials until I figure it out because under no circumstances(of configuration) have I been able to do any variation of 2 of those things at once. Anyhow, I thank you so much d. I'm sure I'll have more crazy questions in the future.
I wanted to restate some comments that I had mixed into my ranting from the original mail. They tell of a potential issue with installation at least on a Win98 box or perhaps it's not the issue with installation but an issue with how the documentation describes the installation. This is merely informative info in the case that it could prove to be useful. Here it is:
The documentation describes basically to start James for the first time, then shut him down, then configure him, then go ahead and put him into action. After this first required start and shutdown process, the appropriate files will have been unpacked(ie. the thing is basically "installed" i guess it could be said).
Now, what I experienced in doing that was that indeed SOME files were unpacked but not all of them. And probably most importantly would be the folder and file for config.xml. I can describe and reproduce this situation over and over again accurately if that is relevant. Now the fact is that, yes, all the files ARE unpacked but then they are not ALL copied to the directory structure to set James up.
So, what I'm suggesting here is that if you follow the docs on how to do the install then you will never be successful on the install... -whether that is due to how the docs are describing the situation or whether it is actually part of an issue with the unpacking scheme. I am only guessing at this but I would guess that the docs are the "intended" design method and it is the implementation that is at fault here in not matching up with the doc description(considering my particular experience on Win98 anyway).
It would seem to be easy to alter the docs from this:
"So the installation sequence is: 1) Start, 2) Stop, 3) Edit, 4) Restart."
..to this:
"So the installation sequence is: 1) Start, 2) Stop, 3) Edit, 4) Restart.
But, if you find that that doesn't work then follow these steps:
1) Start, 1a) Harvest, 2) Stop, 2a) Put harvested files in appropriate place, 3) Edit, 4) Restart."
Okay, so I hope I've been clear about a potential issue there.. -don't think I was the first time. And if there's any way I could be of assistance I'd be glad to be involved.. I can document exactly which of the files ends up where on the installation and exactly what method of madness I used to overcome it.. -suppose I could markup a hypertext document or something on the matter.
mainly just wanted to point it out because it didn't seem right..
alrighty, good day.. Scott
