Dear Experts, can you please suggest on these questions?<br />
<br />
1. We have a Shared file server which is joined a domain, it is sharing a whole D drive with folders and their permissions in it.<br />
For example, when we map a network drive to users, we will use \\192.168.55.222\D\folder1<wbr />\folder2 instead of \\192.168.55.222\folder2$ <br />
It means that folder2 has not been shared but edited permissions based on AD's security groups and users. <br />
<b>=&gt; Question: if we share the folder2 and configure its permissions, is there any effect on D drive and other users using other shared folders in D?</b><br />
<br />
2. We have some workgroup computers which are using POP3/IMAP as email method (from Exchange 2016 server). After join a domain (AD of Exchange server), when we click on Outlook, it automatically connect and create a new one Exchange profile. <br />
<b>=&gt; Question: Can we join domain and still using the OLD outlook data file in new Exchange profile? If so, how? <br />
(It is not like create a new Exchange profile and open OLD pst file, we'd like to send/receive email using the same PST data file)</b><br />
<br />
Many thanks!

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.
