Administrator Tool: Alias Assignments

Posted by Pat on 02/28/2006 | Permalink | Comments (2)

Email administrators can now manage their alias assignments for a specific mailbox, from one location. This makes it possible to assign a mailbox to any or all of the domain’s aliases, all at one time.

To access this control panel feature, select “Email Accounts� / “Mailboxes,� and then click the “Alias� link for the mailbox you want to manage. Select “All� from the “Filter� drop-down to view all of the aliases in your domain. You can then add and remove alias assignments for the mailbox, as desired.

As always, you can create and manage aliases by selecting “Email Accounts� / “Aliases.� And you can view a list of all aliases and their assigned mailboxes by selecting “Email Accounts� / “Tools� / “Export Mailbox Aliases.�

In the Alias "Show All" list, I hope you can add the field to show which email address is the "Alias" currently point to.

We have more than 30 "alias" created and it is not easy to remember the setting of all of them.

If you list the destination all within 1 screen shot, that will be great for the Admin to manage these effectively.

Right now, I have to click into each Alias to find out what is the current setting and then make adjustment.

This is a great idea. I will pass it onto development. In the meantime you can go into the control panel and go to the menu:

Email Accounts -> Tools -> Export Mailbox Aliases

This should help.

Thanks for the comment.
