    	You can load the account onto the system with a different username
    	such that you end up with two separate accounts on the one system,
    	but if you are asking can you merge the two accounts into one then,
    	no, it can't be done (its a popular request). If you load the account
    	with a different name then in V3.0 you could add the [other]MAIN
    	drawer to your filecabinet, and then you can access both accounts
    	as if they were one, which is usually enough for most people
    	(they don't actually want to merge the accounts).

re: .1

	Thanks for your answer.  You have helped me a lot.

	I want to merge 2 accounts onto one system.  So there is
no workaround to do this.

	Another assumption, I create a new account on one system first
and then transfer the account from the other system to it, does it work?
If yes, can I set AF (Auto-forward) for the old (transferred account)?
I know the system will ask AR (auto-reply) to be set after the transfer.
Is it set by the A1 manager or the user (login the old account after
the transfer).

    	Yes. Why do you want to do this? (Maybe I'm missing something).

    	Best do it through the A1 manager account through NEWDIR as
    	transfer user disables the account.

re: .3

	Thanks for your reply.  You have answered my queries.

	To create an account first because the environment account 
created during transfer may not the one I need.  So I will create
the account first before do the transfer.

	You mean both AF & AR can be done thru A1 manager account
by using NEWDIR function?

Steven.

When you gt this all set up, are you expecting both auto-forward and 
auto-reply to work? I know this is reasonable (!), but I think there's still a 
long-running problem which prevents this. If you set both AF and AR, only the 
AF will work.

	Thanks for the replies.

	It's fine for only one can work.  AR is more suitable (for me).

	Can the old account still receive new mails?

	Is there any problem in the folders' names when transferring the
account in V2.4?  For examples: A1 folder & A1MAIL folder.  It's because
I've heard about that there is some problem happened in the transfer if the
folder name is like this. The folder in the destination will be strange, 
such as wrong name, etc (I'm not sure).

	Is this true?

Steven.

    
    	I don't know of a folder naming problem, but there are some
    	transfer user problems listed in STARS.
