How to allow an account to receive email for two or more email addresses

13May09

A user can be configured to receive email on any number of email addresses.

To add a new email address to a user:

1. Log on to the server running exchange server. (This is necessary because Active Directory Users and Computers does not display the necessary “E-Mail Addresses” tab if you try this from a different server.)
2. Run Active Directory Users and Computers.
3. Navigate down to the user account.
4. Open the properties for the user account.
5. On the “E-Mail Addresses” tab add click the button [New ...]
6. Select “SMTP Address” and click [OK]
7. Enter the new new email address that you want the account to receive.

Note:

• Be sure not to set any of these new ones to be the primary for the account, or this will change the email address of the user when he/she sends out email.
