We make mailnickname=alias=samaccountname. I'm pretty sure
that we started making most of this happen when we renamed accounts a long time
ago (possibly NT4/Exchange 5.5 long ago!) because we did get problems if the
alias wasn't the same as samaccountname.
We do have an email address matching samaccountname for
students but that was just to make sure it was unique (9 James Taylors; 9 Bharat
Patels amongst other duplicates!) but we don't for staff.

Thanks.
What about mailNickname?
Are there any issues if mailNickname is different than sAMAccountName
in re: to WebDAV?
Thanks again

Empirical evidence suggests that he shouldn't be insisting so much. Very few of our users have a proxy address of [EMAIL PROTECTED], and we have no problems getting to subfolders via OWA. I'm sure you could take a test user account in your environment and duplicate this.

My company wants to use a mail stubing app called "Mailbox Manager" from CA.I've been going back and forth with the tech there.He claims that, according to him, due to a limitation in WebDAV, one of the user's proxy addresses needs to be in the format of [EMAIL PROTECTED], for users to be able to see subfolders underneath their inbox in OWA.I've never heard of such a limitation and think he may be talking about "mailnickname"(alias), but he inisits I'm wrong.Can anyone shed some light on this?Thanks
