Don’t mention what happens in the workplace that we experience everyday … someone’s sure to take you to task.
Frankly I spend more time deleting emails from my Bader account, so I want more space if anything. Email trails have been my friend at work and in the ATC.[/quote]
Having everything general coming into a shared mailbox gives you (potential) capacity, some level of transparency regarding general communications and a fighting chance that issues can be dealt with regardless of the absence of any individual. Those are the key reasons I like the common account. I’d want to ensure that everything sent from the shared mailbox was tagged with a personal signature but otherwise ended up saved in the shared “sent” folder and was tagged with the shared reply-to address.
Having personal accounts used to access that shared folder gives us a better audit trace, easier signatures, the chance to direct more confidential matters and could get rid of many second-level SMS accounts.
I have to agree. I was resistant to the “adj.xxx” accounts purely on the basis that I have shadmin - but also the transparency issue. Much better just have the two accounts… I hope that “training.xxx” is not introduced down here. I fear it will bring about the “briefcase” mentality which Bader was so good at unlocking and doing away with!
While a shared account does aid transparency in terms of information available to all, a read tag doesn’t identify who has actually looked at it.
Also a sent mail is potentially anonymous, a named or attributed account doesn’t allow this.
Because the account login differs form the actual email address I always need to modify the credentials during the process.
Set it up initially while specifying the proper email address so that Outlook can find the servers OK.
Authentication to the server will fail as that email address is not the username: Change it at that point to specify the proper account username and it “ought” to finish just fine.
I have set up web mail for multiple accounts on multiple devices and not had too many problems.
So, on the subject of Bader e-mail. How does one get access via Windows Live Mail? I’ve tried the settings descrived here, which work OK on my iPhone and iPad, but for some reason Live Mail doesn’t work.
You can’t use WLM for Bader email, as they’ve disabled imap/pop. You need to use Outlook, or find another Exchange capable email client (a quick google search brings up http://www.emclient.com as one example).
