In addition to private mail boxes for each user, the IAP can also store a default mail box. This box,
which is optional, receives all the mails for an addressee who does not have a private mail box. Alcatel
OmniPCX Office retrieves the contents of this mail box and distributes it to different local mail boxes
depending on the addressee. This function is called Multidrop.
Nota : Refer to case 1 - B of the Using the E-mail Assistant section
The mode of operation is as follows:
• Outgoing mail

following criteria:
• If the recipient's e-mail address corresponds to an address linked to a local user, the message
is deposited in the addressee's local mail box.
- In all other cases, the message is stored temporarily in Alcatel OmniPCX Office, then sent du-
ring the next connection or by default, at time intervals pre-defined in the Configuration -
>Email [Main tab] menu, the Activity field of the mail.

The mail deposited in the mail boxes with the IAP(user letter boxes or default letter boxes) is retrie-
ved by Alcatel OmniPCX Office during the first connection following the depositing operation, or a
