Exchange Forwarding

Recently switched from Lotus Notes to Exchange 2003.  Had a user in Lotus Notes that recently got married and her name changed in Exchange.  She is the administrative assistant for our firm and has several internet accounts that newsletters and things of that nature are sent to her maiden name.  Is it possible to set something up in Exchange that if a piece of mail comes in with her maiden name to forward to her new email account?

Thanks!

Why forward it - just leave the SMTP address of the old name there and add a new one.

Not sure I understand?  Old account came into Lotus Notes, Notes server is no longer running.  Are you suggesting setting up a new mailbox with her old name?

Hi steyerhuber,

Ideally, you should create a new user now that she has changed her name, and then import her mailbox to the new account.

Renaming users creates the problem where the users mailbox alias cannot be changed - this is usually not a major issue, but can cause problems later on
