Modifying Existing Accounts

Using the Management Console, you can change individual users' account information if needed. The first step in making modifications is to locate and open the appropriate account. The Management Console provides several ways to do this.

Scanning the user list by server

To scan the user list for an individual account by name:

1. In the toolbar, click the Users button.
2. In the contents pane, select the account you want to modify.

Note	If you cannot find the specific account, use the filtering options described in Filtering Records.

3. To make changes, click the user name. The account options appear in the display pane to the right.
4. You can now make changes as detailed in the rest of this help topic.

Optional: Scanning the user list by mail node

If preferred, you can scan mail nodes for node-specific users.

1. In the toolbar, click the Server Info button.
2. In the contents pane, click the “post office letter bin” by the node whose users you want to review.
3. When the node's options appear in the display pane to the right, click the Users tab. The tab lists all node-specific users (a subset of the server’s main list).

Note	If you cannot find the specific account, use the filtering options described in Filtering Records.

4. Locate the user account and select it. The account options appear in the display pane to the right.
5. You can now make changes as detailed in the rest of this help topic.

Changing contact information

To change the contact information for a user:

1. In the toolbar, click the Users button.
2. In the contents pane, select the user for which you want to change contact information. The user's options appear in the display pane to the right.
3. In the General tab, modify the contact information.
4. Click the now-active Save Changes button at the bottom of the display pane.

Changing a user’s email addresses

To change a user's email address:

1. In the toolbar, click the Users button.
2. In the contents pane, select the user for which you want to change an address. The user's options appear in the display pane to the right.
3. In the General tab, locate the Email Address options.
4. Use these options to modify the alias and domain values for this user.
5. Click the now-active Save Changes button at the bottom of the display pane.

Adding addresses for a user

Note	You can add an unlimited number of addresses for a user.

To add one or more e-mail addresses to a user account:

1. In the toolbar, click the Users button.
2. In the contents pane, select the user for which you want to add an address. The user's options appear in the display pane to the right.
3. In the General tab, click Add Address. A blank entry space appears below the current addresses.
4. Modify the text in the Display Name field if required. (The user's default display name appears by default.)
5. Enter an alias for this user.
6. Enter a valid domain.
7. You can shuffle the entries in the address list. (Whatever address is at the top of the list becomes the default address that the system uses for all messages addressed to or sent by this user.)
8. Click the now-active Save Changes button at the bottom of the display pane.

Deleting addresses for a user

To delete an address from a user's address list:

1. In the toolbar, click the Users button.
