Mac Srv: Determining Who Your Network Manager Is

In Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks, versions 2.0 through 3.1, it is possible for the Network Manager to change the name of his/her mailbox. This feature allows the person designated as the Network Manager to send and receive mail under his/her own mailbox name and still receive status messages as the Network Manager.

If the Network Manager's mailbox name has been customized, it may be difficult to determine who the Network Manager is. The following procedure helps determine which user is the designated Network Manager.

This procedure uses the custom Inquiry form to send an automatically addressed message to the Network Manager. The Network Manager's identity can be determined by reviewing a copy of the Inquiry message in the Sent Mail folder.

Login to the Microsoft Mail server as any user. Choose Preferences from the Mail menu and click the Send icon. Select the Retain a copy in the Sent Mail folder option box if it is not already selected.

Do the following to determine which user is the designated Network Manager:

1.	Compose an Inquiry message by clicking the Inquiry icon. (This procedure requires that the Inquiry message form be installed on the server. The Inquiry form is loaded on all Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks servers and should be available unless it has been specifically removed by the Network Manager.)
2.	Enter some text into the message body and click the Send button.
3.	Open the Sent Mail folder and read the retained copy of the Inquiry message.

The To: field of the Inquiry message displays the customized name of the Network Manager's mailbox.
