 In most PC based email systems this type of distribution list would be limited to a table confined to potential recipients. This is not true of iMail. Although recipient email addresses can be created here, sender email addresses are created and maintained in this program as well.  Moreover, once a sender’s email address is created that address can be associated with an AS/400 User profile. In this way, when sending an email a user’s originating email address can automatically be generated. In most PC based email systems this type of distribution list would be limited to a table confined to potential recipients.

In this way, when sending an email a user’s originating email address can automatically be generated.
  
 +====== User Profile Considerations ======
 +With IBM i, user profiles can be created with names up to 10 characters. However, when adding a user to the SNA (Systems Network Architecture) directory entry system using the ADDDIRE command, the User ID (USRID) field is restricted to 8 characters maximum. This limitation stems from legacy SNA and OfficeVision compatibility requirements.
 +
 +When a user profile name exceeds 8 characters (e.g., MWTRAIN10), only the first 8 characters (MWTRAIN1) are used in the directory USRID. This leads to conflicts when:
 +
 +  * Multiple user profiles share the same first 8 characters.
 +  * Directory entries become ambiguous or overwrite each other.
 +  * Messaging and routing via SNADS or other directory-dependent functions fail or misroute messages.
 +
 +**Conflict example:**
 +
 +^ User Profile: ^ Intended Directory ID: ^ USRID truncation:                                                            ^
 +|MWTRAIN1  |MWTRAIN1 |MWTRAIN1 | 
 +|MWTRAIN10 |MWTRAIN10 |MWTRAIN1 (conflict) | 
 +
 +In the example above, both users map to MWTRAIN1 in the SNA directory, causing a conflict.
 +
 +**Resolution: Use Alias IDs (≤8 Characters) for Directory Entries**
 +
 +To avoid conflicts while preserving your actual user profile names, you can assign a unique 8-character alias for the directory entry's USRID and link it to the full user profile using the USER() parameter. This allows the directory to uniquely identify each user while complying with the 8-character limit. 
 +
 +**Example Alias Directory Entries:**
 +
 +MWTRAIN10 → Alias: MWTRN010
 +
 +ADDDIRE USRID(MWTRN010 LCLSYSTM) USRD('Alias for MWTRAIN10') USER(MWTRAIN10)
