2. Valid keyword sections are: [remove], [add on], [add off] & [remove local locations]

   • [remove] = will remove specified Collections from users installations of Mail Manager

   • [add on] = will add and switch on specified Collections from users installations of Mail Manager

   • [add off] = will add but switch off specified Collections from users installations of Mail Manager

3. Specify only one .mmcollection per line. If no path is specified it is assumed the Collection file is located in Shared Configuration Folder

4. Keyword sections can contain multiple lines

5. % can be used as a wildcard

6. The use of environment variables are supported in the path e.g. %userprofile%\Dropbox

7. When removing collections ensure the full path is included or use the wildcard plus a backslash e.g. %\

Worked Examples

Example 1

To remove a Collection file that is no longer required use the "[remove]" keyword with the full path or wildcard plus a backslash e.g.

[remove]

%\Test.mmcollection

\\Server01\Administration\Staff.mmcollection

 

Note: If the path is not included the collection will NOT be removed.

 

Example 2

In this example two Collection files are added to the users of Mail Manager.

1. One will be switched on and the filing location visible when using Mail Manager to file and search.

2. The other will be available to all users, but not visible when filing or searching.

[add on]

Projects.mmcollection

[add off]

Sales.mmcollection

 

Example 3

In these examples a Collection file is added that is not located in the Shared Configuration Folder

[add on]

H:\%username%.mmcollection
