Fields

type: Specifies the e-mail address type.
address: Points to the e-mail address, formatted according to the type field.

Remarks

The type field is specific to the e-mail application. MHS mail applications use the following types:

0	The data structure contains an e-mail address, in the form of non-MHS_Email_protcol:non-MHS_Email_Address (non_MHS_Email_Protocol is a 1-8 character string, and the non-MHS_Email_Address is a string for the actual address value)
1	The data structure contains an e-mail alias, in the form of non-MHS_Email_protcol:non-MHS_Email_Alias. (non_MHS_Email_Protocol is a 1-8 character string, and the non-MHS_Email_Alias is a string for the actual alias value)

The nwdsapi.h file defines a few e-mail address types in the EMAIL_ADDRESS_TYPE enumeration. However, e-mail applications can create new ones. eDirectory does not validate the types or the addresses; it stores the information. The e-mail application is responsible for ensuring that the information is stored in the syntax in a format that it can use.
