internally for the PS MAIL 6530 and PS MAIL 3270 clients.

with profiles, folders, and distribution lists, like those for a correspondent depot.

HELD queue. One of the four queues for which TSAMPLE collects--at configurable
intervals--counts of work scheduled. The HELD queue contains requests that produce
an unexpected or nonretryable error during processing. If a request can be tried again,
it is retried a set number of times; if it continues to fail, the request is moved to the
HELD queue.
Importance. A value—low, normal, or high—assigned to an X.400 package. For
packages that are not of the mail type, the Importance field is not used because
importance is a P2 concept.

TRANSFER delivers a package to the INBOX folder of each recipient of the package.

Interest group. A group of correspondents who have a common interest or function and
can share access to group folders and add their names to group distribution lists.
Group members can read items in a group bulletin board folder and save items to the
bulletin board for others to read. Each interest group has a group depot with profiles,
folders, and distribution lists, like those for a correspondent depot.
Interprocess communication (IPC). The request to or reply from the TRANSFER
interactive server. The IPC contains a header and one or more units-of-work.
