The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Mail for Windows, version 3.2

SUMMARY

When you address a message with the New Address button, if the mail address is duplicated for more than one recipient, but the alias is unique, version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows will remove all but the first duplicated addresses. If the alias is duplicated but the address is unique, a recipient will see the alias duplicated on the To: or Cc: fields.

MORE INFORMATION

Mail for Windows allows direct addressing though the New Address button in the Address dialog box. For example, for the Network/Postoffice address type, you may enter an Alias, Mailbox, Postoffice, and Network name. The Mailbox, Postoffice, and Network name must be unique to resolve an address.

If two entries are added to a Compose Note with duplicate aliases but unique Mailbox, Postoffice, and Network names, the recipients will see the message with duplicate alias names. If two entries are added with different alias names but duplicate Mailbox, Postoffice, and Network names, the recipients will only see the first alias. All other duplicate Mailbox, Postoffice, and Network names will be removed.
