2315.0. "New drawer = new [.msg] dir" by GVPROD::MAGOUI::SIMMONS (Richard Simmons) Wed Feb 24 1993 09:19

Each time I create a new drawer in IOS V.3.0 I get a new [.MSG] directory along
with the [.DOCn] directories. Is this directory used for anything ?

I thought that all created messages would go into [user.A1.MSG].

thanks,
 Richard

2315.1So mail can be delivered any drawer you want.IOSG::STANDAGEOink...Oink...MoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooWed Feb 24 1993 09:3319
    
    
    Richard,
    
    When a drawer is created, the FCS will indeed create a [.MSG]
    directory. This is because the FCS could allow ANY drawer in your
    filecabinet to be your mail drawer. ALL-IN-1 however does not support
    this functionality, as only your MAIN drawer can be your mail drawer.
    
    I believe with TeamLinks the user can decide for himself which
    drawer his mail gets delivered to, hence the need for every drawer to
    have a [.MSG]

2315.2FCS doesn't care what a 'mail' drawer isCHRLIE::HUSTONWed Feb 24 1993 11:5415
    
    Richard,
    
    Kevin is correct in saying that the FCS creates the [.msg]
    directory since we don't care which drawer is your mail drawer.
    
    TL can set any drawer to be the mail drawer, problem with doing 
    this is that you now will break IOS, or at least make your 
    A1 mail seem to disappear. The FCS will deliver the mail to what
    ever mail drawer you tell us. IOS always looks in MAIN, so, as you
    can see, you would in effect have mail going to two places and 
    then what you could see would depend on who you connected with.

2315.3My default drawer was called MAILIOSG::TALLETTGimmee an Alpha colour notebook...Wed Feb 24 1993 19:399
    
    	Actually ALL-IN-1 will allow any drawer to be your mail
    	drawer, its the one with the default drawer flag set. But
    	its true that ALL-IN-1 doesn't have any UI to support the
    	setting of that flag and by default your mail drawer is
    	called MAIN, if ALL-IN-1 has to create your FILECAB.DAT.
