As with the preferred Internet domain, you must assign a preferred address format to be used as the
default for your GroupWise system. The system's preferred address format is applied to all users in
your GroupWise system. However, you can override the system's preferred address format at the
domain, post office, and user/resource level.
The following sections explain some of the advantages and disadvantages of each address format:
