Alias Property

Sets another user alias used in Exchange WebDAV protocol.

Data Type: String

Remarks

If you choose Exchange WebDAV protocol, EASendMail need to create and send email by a user mail folder. By default, the authenticated user mail folder is used. You can use this property to specify another user mail folder to be used, but your authenticated user MUST have the permission to access this user alias folder. This property is not recommended to be used.

For SMTP and Exchange Web Service protocol, you can simply ignore this property.
