Installing and using Scioworks ImapWeb client

To install the Scioworks ImapWeb client, edit build.properties in this directory, to reflect your configuration. You must enter the correct values for host and domain name of the IMAP Server you want to connect to.

Having prepared build.properties, start ant:

    ant

Then, go to the newly created output directory and start the application

    run

Connect to http://localhost:9000 and enter your user name and password, as configured on the IMAP Server.

Note: The ImapWeb client expects that you have at least three folders created and available at the IMAP server:  Inbox, Sent and Trash. If you have only the Inbox, please save and edit the imapWeb.conf file, changing the names for sent and tresh folders to Inbox:

 …

# Name of 'Sent' folder

ImapWeb.Folder.FolderSent  = "Inbox"

# Name of 'Trash' folder

ImapWeb.Folder.FolderTrash = "Inbox"

After that, connect to the server, create the necessary folders, disconnect from the server and revert the imapWeb.conf file to the saved version.
