The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Mail Gateway to IBM PROFS and OfficeVision, version 3.0

VM user addresses can be created within the Admin program, or each user can create personal addresses within the mail client program. This is possible because of the general-delivery feature of the gateway, which allows MS Mail users to send mail to any user on any VM node.

Within the Admin program, VM addresses are created in two stages:

  1. The administrator defines the VM node in the Gateway/PROFS/Nodes section of the Admin program.

  2. From the Nodes menu, the administrator chooses the List function and adds specific users' addresses to the node.

Within the mail client programs, VM addresses are added to the user's personal address list in two ways:

  1. The MS Mail user can browse and add names from the list of existing VM users in the PROFS menu.

  2. The MS Mail user can add new VM user addresses from scratch, taking advantage of the general-delivery feature.
