This section presents a step-by-step procedure for generating basic PMDF POP and IMAP Mailbox Servers configuration files using the PMDF CONFIGURE MAILBOX_SERVERS utility. Refer to Section 8.1 for a sample configuration dialogue.

1. Configuration of the PMDF POP and IMAP Mailbox Servers should be done using the SYSTEM account to ensure that the necessary privileges are available to create the configuration file. If you are not logged in on SYSTEM, do so now.
2. Begin the configuration procedure by invoking the PMDF Mailbox Servers configuration utility as follows:

   $ SET DEFAULT PMDF_TABLE: $ PMDF CONFIGURE MAILBOX_SERVERS

3. The configuration procedure will optionally print out detailed explanations of each prompt as it proceeds. Unless you are conversant with the procedure, enable the detailed output.
4. Closely examine the example configuration presented in Example 8-1: the example was run with detailed prompting enabled, and will prepare you for the answers you need to provide for your own site.
5. Once you have completed running the PMDF CONFIGURE MAILBOX_SERVERS utility, type out or print the PMDF_TABLE:MAILBOX_SERVERS.CHECKLIST file and complete the configuration by following the steps outlined in the checklist.
