Well that doesn't quite fit with my experience.
Let's agree our definitions.
Mailbox-enabled = Exchange Mailbox; probably an Outlook client user;
Mail-enabled = non-Exchange Mailbox, either a truly external user with a
relationship to the organisation (ie, a Contact) or an internal person on a
different Mail system.
So the mail-enabled user can send mail, but obviously not from within
Exchange/Outlook - in my case they are Domino users, so they use a Notes client
and connect to the Domino server. I use the Connector for Lotus Notes to provide
the link between the two environments. My Exchange users ('Mailbox-enabled'
users) can certainly send to them, and the mail-enabled users appear in the GAL.

Subject: RE: Exchange Tasks in AD
Sorry about this, I appear to have missed the point somewhere, but I
think I have it now.....
For this assume that I have only one exchange server on site.
So a mail-enabled account is really just an forwarding address that gets
added to the exchange address list. Also the limits are for messages
originating from the exchange server (i.e. from a OL client) which are
then forwarded onto the address specified on the 'Exchange General' tab
of the user properites in the AD.
My final question is in regards to this...
The exchange help file says 'If an account is mail-enabled but not
mailbox-enabled, users can only send mail. Mailbox-enabled users can
also receive mail and have additional settings to configure.'
Seeing how a mail enabled user has no mailbox. How does it manage to
send. I am assuming that this statement means via the exchange sever
and not via a third party such as hotmail.
Thanks for all the advice
Stephen

Of course these settings have a meaning. We're basically saying that if
a message is destined for (or originates from) the mail-enabled user,
then check the message sizes as per the limits. Don't get confused with
mailbox storage limits, as a mail-enabled user doesn't have a mailbox.

Ok..., so how do the settings for Incoming mail size, and the options
for Message restrictions work. If the users mail account was in a
different system, surely these option would have no meaning. Also, in
that case why not just use the option for email address in the general
tab?
Or is it that this should function as a forwarding method, mail is
delivered to address on the E-Mail Addresses tab and then forwarded on
to the address on the Exchange General tab.
Confused and its only Tuesday.....
Stephen.

Isn't this the difference between an Exchange Mailbox and a Mail-enabled
account? For example, if you were using AD for all staff, but a mix of
50% Exchange and 50% Domino, you'd use the second option for the Domino
users. This way the Exchange users would see the Domino users in the GC.

Subject: Exchange Tasks in AD
When I add a new user to the active directory, under Exchange Tasks I
get two options.
Create Mailbox
Establish e-mail address
If I select Create mailbox it creates a mil box on the server and all is
well.
If, on the other hand, I select Establish e-mail address, it ask me to
chose and address and then does something, which results in a different
Exchange General tab in the AD, and the email Address tab is empty. What
does this option do/create??
Just curious as I always use the create mailbox option.
Thanks
Stephen.
