1. A system for forming an image and communicating electronic mails, including a transmit mail and a receive mail, through a network, comprising:

  • a server, that includes a transmit-mail storage for temporarily storing said transmit mail to be transmitted via said network, and a receive-mail storage for temporarily storing said receive mail received via said network; and

    an image-forming apparatus, that includes a transceiver section for transmitting a transmit data set to be transmitted on said transmit mail and for receiving a receive data set received on said receive mail, and a data-processing section for processing said receive data set received by said transceiver section;

    wherein said server is coupled to both said network and said image-forming apparatus, so as to communicate said transmit data set and said receive data set on said electronic mails through said network; and

    wherein said image-forming apparatus further includes;

    an operating section to input connecting data;

    a connecting data storage to store said connecting data therein; and

    a displaying section to display said connecting data inputted by said operating section; and

    wherein, when said connecting data are inputted from said operating section and a confirmation-starting command, to start an operation for confirming connections between said server and said transceiver section, is activated, said data-processing section generates a connecting parameter according to said connecting data inputted by said operating section, and then, said transceiver section is electrically connected to both said transmit-mail storage and said receive-mail storage, both included in said server, by employing said connecting parameter; and

    wherein said data-processing section determines whether or not said connecting data are effective by monitoring a connecting status between said transceiver section and said server, and sends first displaying data for displaying a result determined by said data-processing section to said displaying section, which displays said result on a displaying screen.
