Search

If you have a lot of mailboxes defined in your system, it can sometimes be difficult to find the specific mailbox you want to edit just by scrolling through the list in the main window.  Even with the ability to reorder the list by clicking on the different column headers, it can still be a challenge to find one mailbox in a list of hundreds.  However, if you know either the mailbox number or the subscriber name, you can find the mailbox by using the search feature.

To search for a mailbox you can:

Either method will open the Mailbox Search dialog, as shown below.

To search for the mailbox by number, click the radio button labeled By Mailbox Number and enter the number in the box provided.  Or, to search by subscriber name, location and/or description, click the radio button labeled By Partial String and enter the search string in the appropriate box.

Click OK to conduct the search.  The system will search the list in order, from the top down, and stop at the first mailbox that matches the number or the string that you entered.  That mailbox will be selected (i.e., highlighted) in the list in the main window.  Or, if no match was found, an error message will be displayed.
