Description

• User-defined folders for storing mail. Each MAIL MANager user is automatically assigned an inbox and outbox folder. The user can also define additional folders in order to file mail by category.

• Several methods of identifying mail recipients. Mail recipients can be identified in the following ways:
  • Name and location.

  • Specifying a distribution list. MAIL MANager supports both public and private distribution lists.

  • Selecting the recipient from a list of all MAIL MANager users.

• On-line spelling checker and spelling assistant. While text is being entered, MAIL MANager assists the user by providing optional spell checking and dictionary look-up capability with a built-in 112,000 word dictionary.

• Various mail delivery options. The sender can specify delivery options for each recipient:
  • Send mail as a “blind copy.” This option specifies that other recipients of the message will not see the “blind copy” recipient’s name in the recipient list.

  • Acknowledge recipient’s first viewing.

  • Confidential mail. This option specifies that only the sender and the recipient have access to the message. The recipient cannot copy or forward the message.

  • Urgent mail. This option will cause the word ‘URGENT’ to be displayed next to the message in the recipient’s list of new mail.

• New mail notification. Users can request to have MAIL MANager send a notification message when new mail is received.

• One-step mail viewing process. While viewing mail, the recipient may immediately delete, forward, or reply to the mail. If the message is not deleted, it can optionally be moved to another folder.

• Mail threading capability. An original message and all related replies can easily be viewed or printed.

• Automatic mail forwarding. A user may request that all mail received during a specified time period be forwarded to another MAIL MANager user.

• Expired mail management. Mail can be assigned a retention days value. A manual or automatic purge process can be used to delete expired mail.

• Seamless multi-system networking. MAIL MANager users can send and receive mail to and from users on other AS/400 systems connected in a network. MAIL MANager can take advantage of any APPC network currently in place, and does not require QSNADS. MAIL MANager user lists can be automatically exchanged with the remote systems, eliminating the requirement for defining remote users to each system.

• Ease of operation. MAIL MANager has been designed to be easy to learn and use by the display station user, with a minimum of training required. The user may press Help on any display for an explanation of the various functions and options available.

• Multiple user support. MAIL MANager may be used by any number of users concurrently.
