Shared Office Settings
Use
Administrators define the settings for the send, folder and office functions of the Business Workplace in the shared office settings. The shared office settings contain settings for the user, document organization, sending, addressing and mail system group areas.
The settings in the user area are used as standard defaults for the private office settings. It is recommended, for performance reasons, that you specify an outbox expiry date and set daily reorganization. You can restrict sending in the Business Workplace. In a distributed system landscape, you have to maintain the settings for the mail system group. You can also maintain settings for address buffering and for limiting the recipient types permitted.
