This article was previously published under Q181917 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.
