This document was updated on October 7, 2005.Directory Cache: Enables faster lookup when using the Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g WebMail client
Oracle Contacts: This new feature for Oracle Collaboration Suite enables Oracle Mail users to utilize a Suite-wide address book
New archiving policies enable archiving of users' messages in a third-party storage facility
New routing control features reject messages based e-mail attachments
Recovery of deleted e-mails
Message recall enables administrators to locate messages in a Collaboration Suite Database and move those messages to a specified folder for further analysis
Searches of Attachments in Different Character Sets
When you perform a search for attachment names, search behavior is determined by the character set used by the Oracle Mail server to build the search index. In other words, if the characters you are searching for are not found in the character set used by the Oracle Mail server to build the search index, the attachment will not be found.
Base Users with Multiple Mail IDs
Base users having multiple mail IDs cannot be managed from the centralized provisioning framework in Oracle Collaboration Suite 10g. Users that have multiple mail IDs cannot be managed from Oracle Delegated Administration Services, hence Oracle WebMail must be used to manage such users.
Sharing Public E-mail Folders with A Domain
Shared public e-mail folders available to an entire domain can be created using Oracle Connector for Outlook, only.
See Also:
"Creating Public Folders" in Appendix C of Oracle Mail Administrator's Guide for more information about creating shared foldersThe following table lists known issues in Oracle Mail.
