How to install

The Mailtraq Assistant is shipped as part of your Mailtraq installation.

After Mailtraq has been installed on the server, the Assistant program, ma.exe, can be found in the Program Files/Mailtraq directory where Mailtraq is installed.

ma.exe needs to be run from each individual client machine.

You have two options here:

1. Copy ma.exe to each machine.
2. Copy ma.exe into a folder on the server, and setup a network share. (This way, should you need to update ma.exe in the future you only need change a single file.)

In order to use the Mailtraq Assistant, Mailtraq itself needs to be running the XMPP service which installs by default in recent builds. XMPP uses Port 5222 which you may need to open in your firewall.

When Mailtraq Assistant is run on the local machine, the 'speech bubble' icon will appear in the system tray.

Double-click the icon to start (or right-click to access a menu).

To login enter the local IP address or LAN machine name of the server running Mailtraq.

The User Name and Password are the same used for the regular email collection via POP3, IMAP or WebMail.

The icon also indicates your 'logged in' status: white = logged in, grey = not logged in.
