Hello and thanks for the reply. How do I add an emailserver:alias property? Ideally I want to do this programatically as part of a webservice call that creates a folder structure. Here's my call to add the structure:


private void createContent(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, String folder) throws IOException
   {
      String[] folders = {"Academic Progress","Accommodation","Admissions","Assessment","Careers and PDP","Finance","Formal Procedures","General Correspondence","Health, Wellbeing and Disability","Placements","Registration","Studentship"};
      // Start the session
      AuthenticationUtils.startSession(Attributes.USERNAME, Attributes.PASSWORD);         
      try {
         // Make your web service call in here         
         Reference r = SpaceUtil.createSpace(folder);
         for(int i=0; i<folders.length;i++){
            SpaceUtil.createSpace(r,folders[i]);
         }         
      }
      catch (Throwable e) {
         log.error("createContent erorr: " + e.toString());
         e.printStackTrace();
      }
      finally {
         // End the session
         AuthenticationUtils.endSession();
      }     
    }
