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?


Investigate Mail Enabling public folders. It's quick and easy to do
and is in the online help in Exchange System Manager.

A Group Mailbox is nothing more than another AD account and mailbox
that's called "Orders" or "Info", whatever.
You then apply permissions on that so the users in those departments
can open the mailbox. You then go to the email profiles and "Open
another users mailbox".
Again, that's pretty simple to do.
If you need people to send email as if they were "info@xxxxxxxxxx" you
can give them "Send As" rights. (Again, google and online help are
there for you)

You're right. A Distri Group is not for you if you only want one copy
delivered to one place.


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?

You will want to go to each workstation and show them how to work it.
It sounds like the users are none too advanced and might need a little
training.

Thank you very much,
Jan

The personal email should really be in this totally separate account
in a totally separate Mail profile. See above on that.
