Abstract
As described herein, a client system is automatically configured to access message objects in a plurality of mailboxes stored at a server system. The client system sends an autodiscover request to the server system. In response, the server system sends to the client system an autodiscover response that contains an autodiscover response document that comprises a primary mailbox element and at least one alternate mailbox element. The client system uses a first set of mailbox identification data specified by the primary mailbox element to access message objects in a primary mailbox stored at the server system and uses sets of mailbox identification data specified by the alternate mailbox elements to access message objects in alternate mailboxes stored at the server system. Email messages are one example type of message objects. The alternate mailbox may be an archive mailbox used to store message objects for occasional reference.
