However, some users might have the user's old address (GroupWise user ID) in their Frequent
Contacts Address Books. In this case, if the sender types the renamed user's name in the To field
instead of selecting it from the Address Book, GroupWise uses the old address stored in the
Frequent Contacts Address Book instead of the new address in the GroupWise Address Book. This
results in the message being undeliverable. The POA automatically resolves this issue when it
performs its nightly user upkeep (see
page
526). During the nightly user upkeep process, the POA ensures that all addresses in a user's
Frequent Contacts Address Book are valid addresses in the GroupWise Address Book.
If you want to ensure that messages sent to the user's old address are delivered even before the POA
cleans up the Frequent Contacts Address Book, you can create a nickname using the old GroupWise
user ID. For information about creating a nickname, see
