2798.0. "Modify A1 mailbox name" by MEOC02::BEESTONL (Liz Beeston) Thu Jun 03 1993 16:42

    Hello there,
    
    Does anybody have any comments on the consequences I should expect if I
    modified the ALL-IN-1 mailbox from A1 to AM. 
    
    My customer is actually a TeamLinks implementation and as DEC MailWorks
    does not provide any automatic DDS subsriber entry build functionality 
    they are interested in fudging the DDS entry creation using the 
    ALL-IN-1 user creation procedures to get the DDS entry created 
    to point to the AM mailbox.
    
    IOS was installed with OA$DDS_PRIME set to 1. They would have to 
    change the existing user template to have 'Mail Directory' set to Y.
    
    What about other housekeeping procedures, or internal processing
    mechanisms. Should I expect any problems here.
    
    I would have to modify the mailbox identifier in A1CONFIG. Anywhere
    else I should be aware of.
    
    Thanks.. Liz

    Liz,
    
    Apart from the technical confusion this would cause when your customer
    called the CSC you mean? i'm sorry but most people will assume that 
    A1 = real ALL-IN-1
    AM = DEC MAILworks, TeamLinks Mail, ALL-IN-1 Mail etc etc ...
    
    Wouldn't it be better to leave the mailbox at A1 and use a soon to be
    in field test product that allows REAL ALL-IN-1 mail to be used from
    TeamLinks?
    
    Apart from DDS you'd have to thinks about NETWORK.DAt, Distribution
    Lists and maybe Nicknames
    
    Is it worth the confusion? I know the customer is ALWAYS right.
                  
    Regards,
