The following web browsers in their respective current version are supported by the Management Console:

The configuration tool shortcut is located on the desktop of your machine and is named "MailStore Gateway". Double-click to open that tool.
Configure the "E-Mail Domain" by entering your (MailStore Gateway domain) which is different than your primary domain.
- Using the fictional domain "mytdomain.com" and MailStore Gateway will receive emails, a DNS record like msgw.mytdomain.com needs to be created in the DNS zone mytdomain.com. The record must point to a public IP address on which MailStore Gateway is reachable. In MailStore Gateway the value of E-Mail Domain would be set to msgw.mytdomain.com. If MailStore Gateway is located behind a NAT router or firewall, additional configuration may be needed. Refer to Firewall Configuration for further details.
- Example: Using our example above from our fictional domain, assuming we have a public IP address of 11.12.13.14 assigned to msgw.mytdomain.com and the internal IP address of our MailStore Gateway server is 20.21.22.23, we would create a firewall rule of 11.12.13.14:25-->20.21.22.23.
In the "Certificate" field, click the box with the three dots and choose "Create Self-Signed Certificate" and click "OK". This will create a self-signed certificate using the FQDN of the MailStore Gateway machine which is the default configuration.
Leave the Management-console port set to the default of 8450 and the Let's Encrypt Port set to 80.
Click the "Apply" button to apply the configuration changes and then click "Start Service".
