1. Make sure you have at least Author access with the Create Documents privilege selected.

2. From the People & Groups tab of the Domino Administrator, choose Create - Server - Mail-in Database.

3. On the Basics tab, complete these fields and then save the document:

• Mail-in name - The entry for this database in the Domino Directory. Users and applications use this name to send documents to the database.
• Internet message storage - The message storage preference: No preference (default); Prefers MIME or Prefers Notes Rich Text.
• Internet address - SMTP address in the format mailfile@organization.domain. Complete this field if you want Internet users to be able to send messages to the database.

• Domain - Domino domain of the server where the database resides.
• Server - The fully-distinguished hierarchical name of the server where the database resides; for example, Server1/Sales/Acme.
• Filename - The path and filename of the database relative to the Domino Directory. For example, if the database named MAILIN.NSF is in the MAIL directory of the DATA directory, enter MAIL\MAILIN.NSF.

• Owners - Fully distinguished hierarchical name of users allowed to modify this document.
• Administrators - Users or groups who can edit this document.
• Foreign directory sync allowed - "Yes" allows entry to be exchanged with foreign directories -- for example, a cc:MailŪ directory -- so that users on the other system can look up the mail-in database in the cc:Mail post office directory and send mail to it.
• Encrypt incoming mail - Mail sent to the mail-in database is encrypted with the Notes certified public key entered in the next field.
• Notes certified public key - The certified public key to use when encrypting mail sent to this database. To copy a certified public key from the Domino Directory to this field, click "Get Certificates" and choose a name.
