Mail Types to use when importing

When entries from an address book are imported onto a directory, an email address is set as the default address for that contact. If the entry has just one email address, then that address will be used as the default, regardless of the Mail Type option in the rule.

For entries that have two email addresses, notably in address books downloaded from the NHS National Directory, the Mail Type is used to specify which address will be used as the default.

There are two options:

  • Local
  • Nhs.net

Choosing Local will set the non-nhs.net address as the default and likewise choosing nhs.net will set the nhs.net address as the default.
