Removing or moving a retired mailbox

Removing or moving a retired mailbox

The mailbox from a retired account can be left in place, removed, or renamed. To do this, start the Alias Administration Manager and select Retire from the Users menu. Enter the name of the retiring user or click on Select and choose from the list. Make your selection under ``Disposition of mailbox''. If you specify Rename, type the name of a file in which to save the mailbox.


NOTE: Because of the file permissions on user mailboxes, this is the only mail administration task that must be performed as root. To remove or move a mailbox, log in as root before running the Alias Administration Manager.
