Description

MailServer holds the hierarchical name of a Notes user's home mail server. Together with MailFile, it determines where the mail file is loaded from.

Example configuration

MailServer=CN=Mail1/O=Acme

Notes & pitfalls

  • Provide the hierarchical name in full (CN=…/O=…).
  • Usually set via the Person document or policy; manual editing in notes.ini only in special cases.
  • During a server move, update on all relevant clients in good time – otherwise long timeouts when opening mail.
  • Correlates with Location documents in the Notes Client (mail area).
