Remarks

The email1 field is also available as the Email Property.

The email1 field can be used for the following purposes:

  • As a mail attribute to hold the single-valued primary SMTP address.
  • As a multivalued proxyAddresses attribute to hold the full list of addresses for routing, queried for Sender address. Note that each e-mail address stored in this attribute is prefixed by an address type identifier, such as SMTP or X400, followed by a colon (:). If the address type identifier is in all uppercase letters/numbers, that identifier is the primary address of this type, and should be used as a default reply address. There can be only one primary address per address type.
  • As a single-valued textEncodedORAddress to hold the primary X.400 address.
  • As a single-valued targetAddress to hold the primary routing address for contacts, formerly called custom recipients (CRs), used for routing.

"mailto:Someone@Somewhere.example.com"
