So if you happen across this application and want to torture yourself trying to get it to do something useful, you’ll have to downgrade your OS to get a version old enough to include the “real server” applications. Version 5.6 still has the ability to configure the mail and web server, but only if they were previously configured (at least that’s how I interpreted the release notes). It only exists now to see how many suckers they can get to pay for it (in case you didn’t know, all the server functionality came included in the OS to begin with). Some features are not available in all countries.100% not worth paying for or using/upgrading after Apple removed all the server functionality of this “server” product. Some features require program enrollment. Some features require an Apple ID and/or compatible Internet access additional fees and terms apply. – Receive alerts on network changes, certificate expiration, storage usage, and more – Metadata controller failover and file system journaling – Real-time monitoring, graphs, and event notifications – Volume management, storage pooling, stripping, and volume mapping – Block-level SAN file sharing with concurrent read/write access – Encrypted VPN connections for Mac, iPad, iPhone, and PC – Remote access for your network services – Standards-based SMTP, IMAP, and POP server – Point-and-click page edit to change formatting and insert images, movies, and attachments
