No "Incoming Email Settings" in Central Administration for SharePoint Foundation

Question

Hi,

Need help with this. I installed SharePoint Foundation on my Windows 7 computer for development; I also installed hMail so I can send and receive emails with the SharePoint Founation.

For some reason when I open up Central Administration I can't find the "Incoming Email Settings" but the "Outgoing Email Settings" is present.

What can i do to sort this out?

Thanks.

Thanks for this. Unfortunately it's not working. I think I can get to the "Incoming e-mail settings" direct from the URL though, I got some other missing links like that.

Do you know the URL for the Incoming email settings? For outgoing mail it's http://sasd.../_admin_globalmailconfig.aspx.

Answer 3

I've found the link and navigated to it but I keep getting an access denied error even though I'm logging on with the only Admin on the dev computer.

Answer 4

Found the answer. Disabled UAC, rebooted computer and now have "Incoming E-mails Settings" link in Central Administration.
