this software. If you have trouble after downloading the Java runtime, usually rebooting your PC will fix
any issues and you should be able to login to the Administration console without issue. You will only
need to install the Java runtime once. Otherwise, uninstall all references to Java & visit

DEFINITIONS
User A User is equivalent to a mailbox and logs into
the MailStreet service with Outlook/Outlook
Web Access, etc. to retrieve their email and
calendars, etc.

Group
A Group contains Users and Contacts that
receive email for the Group. This is equivalent to
an internal distribution list.

Contact A Contact is an entry in the system that points to

an email address outside of the MailStreet
service. You can create Contacts for email
addresses that you want to appear in the
company’s Global Address List (GAL). Contacts
can also be used in forwarding email for users
and also in Groups.

Email Alias
An Alias is an additional email address for a
User. For example jdoe@domain.com could
have an alias of info@domain.com that would
allow the user to receive emails sent to both
addresses. Note: a User can have only one
default send as/reply as address.

creating your login names. Click Next. NOTE: Unfortunately we do have
limits (for storage planning reasons) on number of mailboxes you may be
able to add. If you reach the limit, contact MailStreet support and we will be
happy to increase your quota. This is normally set at +5 mailboxes from
