• The ATT subdirectory contains encrypted file attachments.
• The CAL subdirectory contains Schedule+ calendar files.
• The FOLDERS\PUB subdirectory contains shared folders.
• The GLB subdirectory contains global system files for Mail. These files contain local user logon information and control files to generate mail files.
• The HLP subdirectory contains Mail help files.
• The INF and TPL subdirectories contain information and template files, respectively. The ADMIN.INF and ADMIN.TPL files contain template information for local postoffice users.
• The KEY subdirectory includes index files that contain pointers to header records in the mailbag (.MBG) files.
• The MAI subdirectory stores mail messages in encrypted form until the recipients retrieve them.
• The MBG subdirectory contains Mail headers that point to the Mail (.MAI) files. For each file in this directory, there is a matching index (.KEY) file.
• The NME subdirectory contains pointer files for the name alias address lists. The ADMIN.NME and ADMINSHD.NME files list members of the postoffice address list.
• The FOLDERS\LOC, GRP, LOG, MEM, MMF, P1, USR, and XTN subdirectories are reserved.
