Redbook Abstract
AS/400 Electronic-Mail Capabilities, SG24-4703-00
  Abstract
This redbook describes the Electronic Mail (E-Mail) capabilities of the AS/400 system having OS/400 Version 3 Release 2, OS/400 Version 3 Release 7, or OS/400 Version 4 Release 1 installed. Although it is not possible to describe every mail client or every connectivity environment, the intent of this manual is to provide information on the most common mail clients that can connect to the AS/400 system.

In addition, this manual provides an overview of the electronic mail environment, an introduction to TCP/IP and the SMTP protocol, considerations when connecting to the Internet, e-mail tips, and general problem solving considerations. This redbook was written for AS/400 administrators, OfficeVision/400 administrators, or anyone responsible for exchanging e-mail between any of the POP3 clients or Client Access/400 based MAPI clients connected to an AS/400 system. Several practical examples are presented to demonstrate the necessary configuration tasks. Some knowledge of OS/400, Internet Mail (SMTP), and OfficeVision/400 as well as TCP/IP communication is assumed. The manual is designed to discuss many of the concepts necessary to understand how the AS/400 system inter-operates with e-mail clients. It is not intended to provide detailed information on specific tasks associated with installing, configuring, and managing specific e-mail clients. It does, however, reference other publications that contain detailed information on how to install, configure, and manage specific e-mail clients in an AS/400 environment.
