Add one more user like we did above. I have created user waqar.hafeez.

Now Logon to workstations with user bilal.ghaffar and waqar.hafeez. Run Notes Client. 

Enter your name: bilal ghaffar

Domino Server: mymal/mydomain

click Next.

This will ask you for Password. Enter Password and click log in.

Leave every option default on next screen and click finish. Your Notes client will start. 

Compose new email and send a test email to Waqar.hafeez

Received email at Waqar.hafeez mailbox

Now Reply to bilal

Now its confirmed that emails are working fine. You can manage Email files for each user via Domino Administrator and a lot more.
