Re: Multilpe Internet Email Accounts ~Juan Zekkrosterlen 6.Nov.03 12:22 AM a Web browser Notes Client 6.0.1Windows 98
Buster,
SMTP (Outbound Mail):
I would guess that you only need to route your mail through one server not a different server for each of you five locations. So only configure one SMTP Account document. Make sure 'Only for location(s)' is set to '*', so all locations can see it.
Now i am not sure if you are using five mail files or one mail file. So I am asuming that you want to use one mail file. Also i am guessing that you are using POP3 mail for you inbound accounts.
POP3 (Inbound Mail):
Using a location document for each mail account can be a huge pain as you need to change locations every time you wish to check an account. My sugesstion would be to use a single location document. You can achieve a single location by using different hosts for each POP3 account.
Lets assume your POP3 accounts are hosted by at 'mail.acme.com' at '10.0.0.1'. Now if I were to enter 'mail.acme.com' as the server name for all the accounts Notes would not download any mail. If you edit the hosts file '%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts' we can trick Notes into thinking it is dling it mail from different servers. So if you set up 5 different alias that point to the ip address of the mail server.
**********************************************
#Example setup for multiple pop accounts on
#single host
10.0.0.1 mail1.remotemail
10.0.0.1 mail2.remotemail
10.0.0.1 mail3.remotemail
10.0.0.1 mail4.remotemail
10.0.0.1 mail5.remotemail
**********************************************
Now for each of the 5 POP3 accounts you have configured use a different alias. Now from the one location when you download your mail you can get all five accounts without changing location.
REPLYTO:
Now if you are sending a message to a person and want them to reply to a specific addresss you could use the ReptyTo option when sending your message so that if a person replies it will be sent to the correct address.
I hope i have given you some ideas as to how you can setup notes differently. Feel free to contact me if you need further assistance.
