Edit mailbox

There are three ways to open a mailbox for editing:

Double-clicking on the mailbox in the list is the easiest, and therefore preferred, method.  However, if you have hundreds of mailboxes in the list and are having trouble finding it, you can use the third method listed above to invoke the Edit Mailbox dialog which allows you to specify the mailbox to edit either by number or by the mailbox subscriber's name.

Enter the mailbox number if you know it or, if you don't, you can try to find a match by part or all of the subscriber's first or last name.  If you choose the latter option, be sure to enter enough letters to uniquely identify a single mailbox, as it will select the first match it finds which may not be the mailbox you want.

Click OK.  If the system finds the specified mailbox, it will open it in the Mailbox Editor for you to edit, otherwise you will get an error message.

A Note About Mailbox Type

Unlike almost any other mailbox property, the mailbox type is intrinsic to the mailbox, in that it determines which other mailbox properties are even relevant and which are completely ignored.  A system mailbox, for example, has a fairly well-defined behavior: you cannot transfer to it's extension nor can it take messages; it is an audiotext menu.  Consequently, a large number of the mailbox properties available to a standard mailbox simply do not apply to a system mailbox and so are ignored (and cannot even be edited).

Because mailbox type is so intrinsic, it cannot be changed after the mailbox is created.  If you want to change the type of a mailbox, you must delete it first and recreate it with the desired type.
