To start the servers, follow these steps:
  1. In iSeries™ Navigator, expand your iSeries Server > Network.
  2. Right-click TCP/IP Configuration and select Properties. The TCP/IP Configuration Properties dialog appears.
    • If the TCP/IP status is Started, click OK and continue to the next step.
    • If not, click Cancel to close the TCP/IP Configuration Properties dialog; then right-click TCP/IP Configuration and select Start. Click OK when finished.
  3. Expand Servers > TCP/IP. If the SMTP and POP servers are not started, then follow these steps to start them:
    1. Right-click SMTP and select Start.
    2. Right-click POP and select Start.
  4. Open an iSeries character-based interface and type STRMSF to start the Mail Server Framework.
  5. If you are using SNADS, type STRSBS QSNADS to start the QSNADS subsystem.

You have started your servers, and your iSeries server is now an e-mail server with enrolled e-mail users.
