How to send and receive mail in a test environment using MailMarshal and Outlook Express only.

1. Create two Identities in Outlook Express. One will be used to send, the other to receive.
2. Sending Identity: create an Identity with the following Mail Account properties:
   
   

   Display Name:	Test Sender
   Email Address:	test@outsidedomain.com
   My incoming mail server is	Pop3
   Incoming Mail Server:	127.0.0.1
   Outgoing Mail Server:	127.0.0.1
   Account name:	test
   Password:	test

   
   
3. Receiving Identity: create another Identity with the following Mail Account properties:
   
   

   Display Name:	Test Receiver
   Email Address:	test@localdomain.com
   My incoming mail server is	Pop3
   Incoming Mail Server:	127.0.0.1
   Outgoing Mail Server:	127.0.0.1
   Account name:	test
   Password:	test

   
   
   
   In the MailMarshal Configurator or Management Interface, add localdomain.com as a local POP3 domain. Then create a test POP3 user with the following email address – test@localdomain.com
   
   
   
   How do I send a test message?
   
   In Outlook Express Switch Identities to Test Sender. Send a test email to test@localdomain.com.
