Exchange: Information for use of the Exchange mailbox
The Exchange mailbox is set up in addition to the (previously existing) UNIX mailbox. The user therefore has two mailboxes with different email addresses. It is recommended that you use one mailbox as a so-called main mailbox and that you forward all emails from the secondary mailbox to the main one. You can find a short guide for setting up an Exchange mailbox on your computer as well as the setup of forwarding.
