    Hello All!

    How do I configure multiple AKA's for a single contact?

    add multiple entries under contacts

    i.e.
    Displayname AKA
    #1 add Ulrich Schroeter (2:240/1120) 2:240/1120
    #2 add Ulrich Schroeter (2:240/1120.3) 2:240/1120.3 (my winpoint test install)

    That's one way of doing it but there's a snag, the entire data in "Displayname" will be entered into the "To" field of a netmail to the contact. However, it's a simple matter of deleting the unwanted data from the "To" field before sending the netmail but, of course, we have to remember to do that.
