-in_dir input_dir

E.g.: -in_dir c:\xmail-1.24

The directory where you unpacked xmail.

If you downloaded xmail-1.24.win32bin.zip from http://www.xmailserver.org/ and unzipped it into c:\, then you'll have created c:\xmail-1.24, so use -in_dir c:\xmail-1.24.

The default value for in_dir is c:\xmail-1.24.

-out_dir output_dir

E.g.: -out_dir c:\

The directory where you want XMail's MailRoot directory to be installed.

Note: Any pre-existing output_dir will be removed before copying starts. This in turn means if XMail is running, this script will stop it and remove the service.

-out_dir c:\ means c:\xmail-1.24\MailRoot is copied to c:\MailRoot, and c:\xmail-1.24\*.exe files are copied to c:\MailRoot\bin.

The default value for output_dir is c:\.

-postmaster_password a_password

The password to use for the postmaster's account.

The default value is richness-of-martens (as in 'A richness of martens').
