Range create

To create a range of mailboxes, the easiest method is to use the Mailbox Creation Wizard.  You invoke the wizard by selecting Mailbox | Range Create from the main menu.

The first page of the wizard informs you of the purpose of the wizard and how it works.  Click Next to continue to the next page.

In the boxes provided, enter the starting mailbox number and the total number of mailboxes to create.  Then select how the mailboxes should be created.  As with using the Create Mailbox dialog, you can create the mailboxes either by type or by template.  You can also elect to use an existing mailbox as a template.

Once you have entered the mailbox number, the number of mailboxes to create, and the type, template or existing mailbox from which to create the new mailboxes, click Next.  Or click Finish to skip the next two pages (accepting the default settings on them) and go directly to opening the Mailbox Editor.

On page three, you configure how the extension numbers will be generated for the mailboxes you are about to create.  By default, the extension number for a given mailbox is the same as its mailbox number.  However, you can opt to have prefix and/or suffix digits added to the number, or even just leave the extension field blank.

Click Next to continue to the last page or Finish to skip directly to the Mailbox Editor.

The last page allows you to skip opening the Mailbox Editor if you wish.  In that case, the mailboxes will be created using the default settings for the mailbox type or template (or existing mailbox) you selected, with the extension numbers, subscriber name and address fields adjusted accordingly.

If you do opt to open the Mailbox Editor to customize the settings, the mailboxes will be created after you click the OK button in the editor; if you click Cancel at that point, all you selections will be lost and the mailboxes will not be created.
