SYMPTOMS
Directory Export sometimes does not use the directory name object attribute as the directory name when performing a directory export. Instead, Directory Export may construct the directory name from the OBJ-DIST-NAME object attribute using the last common name field as the directory. Normally this would be fine, as the last common name and the directory name are usually the same. But if a customer deletes and recreates a mailbox changing the case of the directory name, then the directory name object attribute and the last common name of the OBJ-DIST-NAME will be different. This can cause problems when performing a dirsync operation with third-party e-mail servers.
