User Status |
By default, all users are enabled. To exclude the current user from the messaging system, select Disabled. Though the user might reside in a supported NMAP context, selecting Disabled prevents the user from sending or receiving mail through NetMail®. NOTE: This option only affects the NetMail messaging system. It does not disable the User object in NDS®.
|
||
Timeout |
The amount of idle time before the user is automatically logged out of the Modular Web client. Type a value (in minutes) between 1 and 40. Specific actions, such as opening or sending an item, generate a call to the Web server. Other actions, such as scrolling through items in the Item List, composing a message without sending it, or reading Help topics, do not generate a call to the Web server. If, for a period of time, the user leaves the Modular Web client alone or perform actions that don't generate a call, the client logs the user out. Doing so not only secures the user's mailbox, but it also ensures that the Web server and Modular Web client run efficiently. When a user has timed out, and therefore is automatically logged out, and attempts to perform a function, the user os prompted to log in again. If the user is logged out while composing a message, NetMail displays a login dialog when the user attempts to send the message or go to another page, If the user logs in successfully, NetMail resumes the original session so the message is not lost.
|
||
Privacy |
Sets the users level of privacy within the messaging system. The privacy level controls what the Address Book Agent reveals about the user.
|
||
None |
The current users e-mail address, first name, last name, and full name is returned in address book queries.
|
||
Limited |
Only the current users e-mail address is returned in address book queries.
|
||
Unlisted |
The current users personal information is not available.
|
||
Reply To Address |
The users preferred reply-to address. The reply-to address appears on the From: line of the users outgoing mail. IMPORTANT: Typing the Reply To Address does NOT automatically enable the user to receive mail at this address. If the reply-to address differs from the users actual e-mail address, you must create an alias that associates the reply-to address with the users system e-mail address. You can user either an NDS Alias object or the Alias Agent to create the alias. For more information, see the Novell® NetMail Administration Guide at http://www.novell.com/documentation. (You cannot create Alias objects in WebAdmin; therefore, you must use another administrative tool, such as iManager, to create Alias objects.) If this field is left empty, ModWeb uses the Internet E-mail Address attribute from the User object as the users Reply To address. NOTE: ModWeb does not verify the domain listed in the User Objects Internet E-mail Address property is a supported Global or Hosting domain. Therefore, it is recommended you use the Alias Agent to populate this property or manually ensure the domain is valid. If the Internet E-mail Address property is not configured in the User object, ModWeb dynamically generates the users e-mail address as follows:
To identify the users Internet domain, ModWeb looks in the following objects:
|
||
Quota |
|||
If enabled, the designated disk quota is enforced for the current user. This property overrides the System-Wide Mailbox Quota set in the NMAP Agent. For the Quota to take effect, you must enable the Per User Quota option in the NMAP Agents configuration or the users Parent object must defer the quota parameters to the User object. Use the Disk Quota property to allot additional mailbox space on a case-by-case basis (e.g. system administrators, the messaging servers postmaster, or company VIPs).

Template |

Click the Browse button NetMail 3.5 ships with two client templatesWebAccess (Webacc.ctp) and Webmail (WebMail.ctp). The WebAccess interface provides standard mail client functionality including calendaring, scheduling, busy search, assigning tasks, writing notes, and advanced rules. Administrators can also give users access to self-administration features like changing passwords and configuring vacation messages. Furthermore, administrators can use the WebAccess interface to delegate NetMail administrative functions such as adding, modifying, and deleting user accounts. Webmail is patterned after the NIMS 2.5 mail client interface. It provides all the features of the WebAccess template with the exception of advanced rules and adding, modifying, or deleting user accounts.
