Changing the Postoffice Administrator

The postoffice administrator is tied to a specific account that is created when the postoffice is created. To change the postoffice administrator, the person who is using that account must abandon it, and the new administrator must take it over. The two persons involved in the exchange must take their Mail folders and Schedule+ data with them.

To change the postoffice administrator, follow these steps:

  1. The future administrator needs to complete the following tasks:
    • Sign in to Schedule+, export your appointments, archive your data, and then exit Schedule+.
    • Sign in to Mail, export your folders, and then exit and sign out of Mail.
    • Edit your Registry to include the following entries in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Mail\Custom Commands.

WGPOMgr1:REG_SZ:3.0;Mail;;13
WGPOMgr2:REG_SZ:3.0;Mail;&Postoffice Manager...;14;WGPOMG32.DLL;0;;
