E-mail type
  • Use this box to type the e-mail address type. The e-mail address type cannot exceed 9 characters.

  • The e-mail address type is the identifying proxy information for the e-mail address. Exchange uses this information to determine how to process the e-mail address.

    Note:
    In the SMTP Address dialog box, this box is automatically populated with SMTP and cannot be modified.
  • Examples of custom e-mail types include X400, GroupWise, and Lotus Notes.

  • This box is disabled when editing existing e-mail addresses.
