I have a question on the message flow in E2K. In Microsofts message flow diagram, V1.4 September 2002 the pickup directory appears to be at the beginning of the message flow, ie/ directly after a message is formatted from the MAPI client. However, I am of the opinion that the folder comes into effect after the on-post categorization since it is only at this point that the message can be directed to the correct Virtual Server and hence the correct Pickup folder. Since if we have several VS's then these would all have independent Pickup Queues. Could someone please clarify this for me please. I was trying to explain what happened to messages whilst in the pickup foler and found that I was contradicting myself. Thanks.
