Setting Up a Mailbox and Profile in NT
Prior to creating e-mail rules in Outlook, it is necessary to configure a New User
and Mailbox in Microsoft Exchange for each e-mail address you intend to
create. This user name is actually the E-mail address of the queue. Consult
your Windows NT administration manual or the Resource Manager User Guide
for instructions on configuring user mailboxes.
Note:
When you want an e-mail to forward from one queue to another, you
should create a separate User and Mailbox for each queue.
Creating Auto-Reply Rules in Outlook
Responding individually to each and every e-mail request can be costly and
ineffective, especially when your resources are limited. Many of the e-mails your
company may receive may fall into the category of routine inquiries that do not
require complex, personalized responses. These could include requests for
brochures, branch locations, service policies, price lists or information regarding
company sponsored events. You can create standardized auto-replies with
attachments as fulfillment vehicles for these and other situations. By applying
Outlook rules based on message or subject content, you can construct a model
that prescreens e-mail as it arrives, so that only inquiries that require the
services of staff with specialized knowledge reach the queue for “live” reply. For
additional information on applying Outlook rules to e-mail management, consult
you Outlook user manuals.
1. Open iEmail Config.exe from the Program /Multimedia Module.
2. Configure to Non-Auto Reply.
3. Create a user and mailbox in NT for each auto-reply queue.
4. Use Outlook to create rules for auto-response and routing criteria for those
and e-mails you want to forward to queues for personalized treatment.
Note:
When setting up rules to forward e-mails to appropriate queues for
personalized handling, ensure that the forward method is set to “Leave
Message Intact”. Otherwise, all forwarded e-mails will bear the Inbox as
the sender’s address rather than the actual sender’s.
