Re: multiple email address with same user?

Jim,

Here is your example revised for Post.Office:

widgets1.com

When creating email for Jim. Let's say his last name is Smith.

In "Primary Email Address", put:

jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx

Put a check mark on "POP3/IMAP4 Delivery".

POP3/IMAP4 Login name:

jimsmith

widgets2.com

When creating email for Jim Parker.

In "Primary Email Address", put:

jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx

Put a check mark on "POP3/IMAP4 Delivery".

POP3/IMAP4 Login name:

jimparker

Post.Office does not support @ sign in POP3 login name. Therefore,

the user name must be unique. However, this does not prevent users

for having the same email id before the @ sign in their email address.

In addition, the POP3 login name does not have to be the same as the id before the @ sign.

Hope this helps.

regards,

Eric

What if I have company 1 with three people:

jack

jill

jim

Through a custom interface, they can sign in and see all the email

addresses for their domain, widgets1.com.

They want an email address for each of them with their first names:

jack@xxxxxxxxxxx

username:jack

jill@xxxxxxxxxxx

username:jill

jim@xxxxxxxxxxx

username:jim

now company 2 has three people as well in their company, widgets2:

John,

Joanie

jim

they can set up john and joanie, but when they go to set up jim, that

name is in use for another domain (widgets1)

I can understand telling someone they cannot have the same nome as

someone else in THEIR domain, but how do you tell someone they cannot

have the name jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx because someone in another domain on

the server already has the name Jim?

Suppose you were an isp and had 100's of domains, what would you do?

I tried making the pop3 login name(this seems to be the one that HAS to

be unique) the same as their email address, but it won't accept the @

sign.

sorry I'm so dense- I'm coming from a mail server that allowed me to

set up a user for domain1, and the same user for domain2 so I'm a

little stumped :)

Thanks for the help!

Jim

Jim,

I think you are on the right track, and Ken's suggestion is even better.

Simply, specify unique POP3 mailbox names and

associate jim@xxxxxxx to the correct POP3 names, then you

will be fine.

Ok, I'm getting ready to begin setting up the email addresses.

Lets say I have 3 domains to keep it simple

I want jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxx to go to me

another Jim wants jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx to go to him

How can I do this?

If I use jim1 and jim2 (which means that when jim3 comes along I have

to search ALL the accounts to see how many jim's there are) then their

address shows as jim1 <jim1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

or if I use jim%blueworld.com as the user name and jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxx as

the email address, then the address looks like jim%blueworld.com

<jim%blueworld.com>

what I need is for the address to look like

jim <jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

jim <jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Any ideas?

Thanks all!

Jim

No, I have identical names with different domains but the pop account

user must be different so you would have:

User Jim1 = POP account: jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

User Jim2 = POP account: jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Actually I use:

User jim%blueworld.com = POP account: jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxx

User jim%lassostudio.com = POP account: jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

hope this helps...

We are getting ready to impliment post.Office as our new list and email

server.

I just read this somewhere and was hoping it isn't true...

"Post.Office can support multiple domains, but user names must be

unique across the domains in order for this feature to work properly "

Does this mean I cannot have jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxx & jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ?

Thanks

Jim
