PC Win: Mailing to an Address Not Found in the Address List

• Microsoft Mail for Windows, version 3.0

SUMMARY

In the Microsoft Mail Windows client, you can send mail to users not found in the Postoffice Address List in one of two ways:

• By enclosing the address in square brackets, [address], mail will not search the address list for a match. If the brackets are not used, the following error message is returned by mail when the names are checked:

        Some names could not be matched to names in the address
        list. Try correcting the names or choose Address to select
        names from the address list. Successfully matched names are
        underlined.
  

  These addresses must be enclosed in brackets and have a leading address type specified. Microsoft Mail is the default type used.

  Examples:

        MS Mail            [MS:Network/Postoffice/UserID]
        SMTP:              [SMTP:User@Host.Domain]
        Mail Connection    [MSMAIL:user@postoffice]
        X.400:             [X.400:/C=us/ADMD=mci/PRMD=widgits/PN=JohnDoe]
                     or    [X.400:/C=us/A=mci/P=widgits/S=JohnDoe]
  
     Note: Follow the steps below to see a sample of the address you are
     sending to. After creating the address into the mail message,
     double-click the name to see the actual address. You can also click
     the name in the Address window and click the Details button.
  
  

• The names can also be manually entered by using the address windows, as follows:

  1. Select Compose Note.

  2. From the message toolbar, select the Address button.

  3. From the Address window, select the New Address icon. It is the

        blank card on the left of the address list.
  

  4. This brings up the New address window. Select the appropriate

        address type from the list and click the OK button.
  

  5. This brings up the New User dialog box. Fill in each box according

        to the requested information. The Alias is how it will look on the
        To line of the Mail message.
  

  6. Click the To button to add this name to the To: box of the

        Address window.
  

  7. Click the OK button when done adding in addresses and the names

        are added to the To: line of the message.
