hi,

i got a problem with exchange in sbs 2003 : i just cannot create a new
mailbox for a user that already exists.
I launched the wizard in Active Directory (All exchange tasks), but i
cannot find tha task "add mailbox".

Thank you for your help...

Do you not see "mail enable" ? If not, perhaps this account already has a
mailbox?

First of all, thank you for your response.

Next, yes, the user already has a mailbox, but i want to create a new
mailbox. Is it possible?

Hi Christophe,

Than you will have to create a new user. Use the Add wizard for that.

What's your goal here? Do you want to user to receive under a different
email address?

A mailbox is an attribute of a user object - they're one and the same. If
you want this user to have another email address, add it in the email
address tab in his/her ADUC properties.

I want a user to send with differents addresses. In fact, i already
create multiple SMTP addresses for this user, but when i send a message,
the field "FROM" always contains the default SMTP address even if
changed it in outlook.
Do you have an idea the way i could send messages from a user and this
user could take several identities?

Either use multiple mailboxes and assign him permissions (full mailbox
rights & Send As) and use forwarding on the server so that all inbound mail
goes to his inbox, or see ChooseFrom from www.ivasoft.biz. There's no native
way to select a 'from' address on the fly if all the addresses are assigned
to one mailbox.

Christophe,

To support what Lanwench is saying. You can however change which email
address is used as the default. This process is too burdensome to do on a
regular basis however.
