Re: Local email

Thanks for your replies.
Yes the user email account properties have two addresses, the
secondary
being the .local account.
I was unsure whether these two email accounts are held in separate
areas (cache/folder) on the server or consolidated as one mail
account for the user.

There's one mailbox per user, period.

I need to tidy up these accounts.

OK, but the .local address isn't hurting anything.

Some users do
not have limits imposed on their accounts as a result the mailboxes
are large. I need to backup, clean unnecessary mail and impose a
mailbox quota.

There's no uneccessary mail as a result of having multiple SMTP addresses,
though.

You should set a default quota on the mail store and set exceptions where
need be, but make sure everyone has a quota and that the sum total (plus
room for deleted item retention) will not exceed either 75GB in mail store
size or the size of the disk / partition where the databases reside.


Since I mainly remote access the server I thought it would conveinent
to
open these mail folders to view its contents easily.

There's nothing to view - they're just SMTP addresses on your users'
mailboxes. :)

(user@xxxxxxxxxxxx) but have never used this.

Check the properties of all your users. I'll bet they all have
username@xxxxxxxxxxxx addresses as secondary SMTP addresses.

The intranet is not in
use.

Sure it is. :)

Assuming that email is present in these nailboxes
1. How do I view these email. Outlook defaults to the external mail.

Outlook opens the mailbox. Any mail sent to any address assigned to
the user/mailbox is in there. So there's nothing special to view.

2. How do I purge these.

Purge what?

3. Where do these email reside on the server.

See above.
