Options

Make account mailboxes equal to the SAM/AD account name

Click this switch to force each imported user’s Windows account name to be used as their Mailbox value. With this method, you will not need to worry about setting up the correct New Account Template macros.

Use the account template to generate passwords

This switch causes MDaemon to generate passwords for imported accounts using the account template settings.

Set account passwords equal to account names

This switch causes MDaemon to use the account name as the account password.

Make every password equal to…

This switch allows you to specify a static password value that will be used by all imported accounts.

Authenticate passwords dynamically using SAM/AD

This switch enables dynamic authentication of imported accounts. Rather than specifying a password MDaemon will simply authenticate the mail client supplied USER and PASS values using the Windows database in real-time.

Authenticate on this Windows domain

Enter the name of the Windows domain that MDaemon will use when authenticating connections dynamically. This is not the machine name of the domain controller. It is the actual name of the Domain.

Import Selected Accounts

Clicking this button will cause MDaemon to import all of the accounts listed in the Selected accounts window.
