We are migrating our mailin databases from Lotus Notes to GMAIL. Collaborative Inboxes do not work for us in these situations, so we created user mailboxes. 

I need to delegate anywhere are from 5 - 15 users for these 9 newly created GMAIL accounts. (more to follow)

What is the correct syntax for the below command, instead of entering each one line by line.


gam user LNmailin@mydomain delegate to FN.LN1
gam user LNmailin@mydomain delegate to FN.LN2
gam user LNmailin@mydomain delegate to FN.LN3
gam user LNmailin@mydomain delegate to FN.LN4
gam user LNmailin@mydomain delegate to FN.LN5

gam user LNmailin2@mydomain delegate to FN.LN1
gam user LNmailin2@mydomain delegate to FN.LN2
gam user LNmailin2@mydomain delegate to FN.LN3
gam user LNmailin2@mydomain delegate to FN.LN4
gam user LNmailin2@mydomain delegate to FN.LN5
gam user LNmailin2@mydomain delegate to FN.LN6
gam user LNmailin2@mydomain delegate to FN.LN7

Thanks in advance - Edith

Edith,

What you show is the only available option; one delegation per line.

You can use a CSV file, with the following format userlist.csv


delegator,delegatee
LNmailin,fn.ln1
LNmailin,fn.ln2
LNmailin,fn.ln3
LNmailin2,fn.ln1
LNmailin2,fn.ln2
LNmailin2,fn.ln3

Then use a command similar to the following:

gam csv userlist.csv gam user ~delegator delegate to ~delegatee

It will then thread the commands.
