Set AIMS up as a server by set up each account in the AIMS account 
information window. Create a new account for each of your clients by giving 

them a name and a password  set the forwarding option  (in the popup menu) 
to 'Save as archive', fill the place you want the mailboxes to be kept into 
the box beneath the popup menu and click the enable box

In Eudora set your POP Account to point to the same file, but with a ! in 
front, to tell Eudora it is a file its looking for

 ie if the file your AIMS mailbox is 
 
Ariadne:system folder:Mail Folder:Poptest

then the Eudora POP Account will be

!Ariadne:system folder:Mail Folder:Poptest

This is not nesseccary, AIMS is smart enough to distribute mail on your 
network without it going to post.d.c.u.


But when I send test mail from
~ testuser@zink.demon.co.uk to testuser@zink.demon.co.uk, AIMS seems to go
~ into some kind of loop - the debug window endlessly repeating:
~ Moving message from testuser@zink.demon.co.uk to 
~ testuser@zink.demon.co.uk
~ 
Your account for testuser@zink.demon.co.uk is not set up correctly - see 
above

Nothing in the sending setup will help


If you have any more questions e-mail me
