MAIL

Configuring alternate name support in iNotes Web Access
An alternate name is helpful when a user wants to use his or her native language and character set to type, display, and look up names. For example, users can type a name in a native language and character set when sending mail. A user's primary name is recognizable to an international audience; an alternate name is recognizable to the user's native language.

By default, iNotes Web Access allows users to view alternate names but not in any language other than English. You can change iNotes Web Access to allow users to send and view alternate names in their own native language.

Note Before a user can use an alternate name for a primary name, you must register and certify the alternate name.

For more information on alternate names, see Adding an alternate language and name to a user ID.
