SUMMARY
This article describes how to specify a domain for unqualified addresses for Internet e-mail account configurations in Entourage.



MORE INFORMATION
An Internet e-mail address is considered to be fully qualified when it has the necessary elements of a user identifier and a domain. The following is an example:

username@enterprise.com

Many organizations use an intranet, which uses Internet standards, for their internal messaging. In an intranet environment, you receive messages through either a Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) or an Internet Mail Access Protocol (IMAP) server, and you send messages though a Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) server. All users share the same domain. A message that is addressed to username has the domain automatically appended to the partial name that you type in the message. For example, username becomes username@enterprise.com when you send the message.

To set messages to use the domain for unqualified addresses:
 * 1) On the Tools menu, click Accounts.
 * 2) In the Accounts dialog box, click the account that you want to configure, and then click Edit.
 * 3) On the Account Settings tab, click Sending Mail, and then click Click here for advanced sending options.
 * 4) In the Domain for Unqualified Addresses box, type your domain for all of your addressees that you want appended for unqualified recipients.
 * 5) Click OK, and then close the Accounts dialog box.
