mail box name

[jenodorf]

Hi
can someone verify if what I suspect is true.

I have a desktop PC with a user called Niki , her internet address is reception@....

SO when I setup her account on the 2003 sbs server ie exchange 2000 her mailbox will be niki@......

is this disparity allowed in exchange ie so reception@ can be sent to niki @ or do i have to create a new user account for her under the name reception

thanks

Ian

Assuming reception@domainname.com is an SMTP address that users outside of your organization use to send e-mail to her?
On the E-mail addresses tab of the Niki user account in AD Users and Computers, you can add reception@domainname.com as an SMTP address. You can add as many SMTP addresses as you like.

Thanks for that,

the problem gets worse. When I open outlook it refuses to let me open the folder telling me I don't have permission

So it's back to the drawing board

thanks again

If you just set up her account, it may take a little while to replicate. You can also check her mailbox rights on the Exchange Advanced tab.
