Creating Config_CommonAddrBook.cgi

You can create a Public Contacts folder that can be used in IMail (no Outlook or Collaboration WorkGroupShare required).

To create contacts:

  1. Open Notepad.
  2. Enter your contacts in the following manner: contact name<space>-<space> contact e-mail address, separating each entry with a comma and no spaces.

    Example:

    Sam - SSmith@yahoo.com,Josie - jbrown@hotmail.com,HumanResources - hr@ipswitch.com

  3. When you have finished, close the Notepad file and save it as Config_CommonAddrBook.cgi.
  4. Add the file to the IMail\Web directory for your primary domain. For all non-primary domains the file should be added to the IMail\DomainName\Web folder.
  5. When the user opens his/her e-mail in the Client, a Public Contacts folder appears.

To create a Public Contacts folder for a non-primary domain follow the steps 1 - 3 above. Create a "Web" folder within the non-primary domain. Add the new config_CommonAddrBook.cgi file in the new "web" directory.
