- We are integrating VMS Mail and BMEMO (IBM). As a result many general purpose
- mails are sent down to VMS users. Also, purely within VMS, mails should be sent
- to all users.
- Instead of mailing to all these users and duplicating all this information, I
- would like to setup a common mail drawer.
- I tried already to create a user MEMO to which these mails are sent. Then I
- added this users mail drawer (MAIL.MAI) to the index of all the other users.
- And indeed, with appropriate protections, anyone can select this drawer and
- read the mails in there.
- However, I am looking for a solution to 2 problems
- 1) Is there a possibility to warn the users when mail arrives in this
- particular drawer
- 2) If one user is reading a message in that drawer, another user is
- inhibited to read the same message
- Can anyone give me some hints to solve this ?
- Greetings
