Hi Mark,
I really appreciate your answer. See comments below.

The company mailbox is needed because
1) customers mostly don't know who works on their order. So they just send
data to the company mail. Also orders unrelated mail is being sent there.

Well that's just an address, not a mailbox necessarily. It could be a
distribution group, group mailbox or public folder with an address. Do
you know anything about that? If you do you can have a think about it,
if not you can come back and ask for a little help in deciding which
route to go.

Well in fact, the mail sent to the company mailbox is being sorted (manually) to the public folders and subfolders by orders.
I have never heard about group mailbox or public folder with an address, but it sounds promising, could you please introduce it for me a little bit? I only don't want to take the incoming mail and duplicate it into several mailboxes, what, I guess, is the distribution group for, isn't it?



2) at the time the company didn't have its own server (and so many
employers), it had three company mailboxes from public providers (just
because sometimes some didn't work at these times) so the server regularly
picks up these and stores them in the company exchange account.

The surname mailbox is needed just as you would expect, also some people
just do work from another branch and this would be more mess than necessary
if mixed in the common mailbox.

The personal mailbox is not my business. Let's take it as a company
politics, that they offer personal e-mails for their employers. This is not
america and half of them even don't have access to internet at home...

Here's a plan for you.
Use two MAPI profiles in Outlook. Configure Outlook to prompt for the
profile when it starts. Call each profile Personal and Work.



.... and then both profiles will have their Exchange account as the main account, that seems like a very good idea.


By the way, we are talking about maximum of ten employers, if this explains
something. :-)

How can I add SMTP addresses to the user account without creating separate
outlook account?

No longer applicable, see above.


However, I would be very pleased to know the answer. ;-)

As I am reading through, I wonder if I have to visit each computer to set this configuration or if it is possible to applicate it globally during installation?


Thank you very much,
Jan
