-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Exchange Server, versions 5.0, 5.5 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

When you are using Exchanger Server 5.0 or 5.5 and you connect to the server
with a POP3 client, you may see the following error message:

  -ERR Ambiguous Alias

This error message is generated by the Exchange Server computer if the mailbox
used by the POP3 client has an alias that matches another alias homed on that
specific server. The same error message may also appear when mailboxes with
matching alias names are located in separate recipient containers of the same
Exchange Server computer.


WORKAROUND
==========

The administrator of the Exchange Server computer can resolve this problem by
changing the alias of the mailbox to a different name.
