Optional name for NetworkList

Q: What should I be passing in Name tag when trying to list all networks?

A: It can be left blank. The Name parameter allows you to use the function to search for specific networks rather than a complete list.

British Summer Time

Q: The time on the dates doesn't seem to have been updated to reflect the clock changes in Britain (forward 1 hr). I've just uploaded an Invalid message at 12:07 and the error report (parcelError) is reporting it was uploaded at 11:07.

A: All times in ECGrid are UTC/GMT. In future versions we may look into timezone support.

Access required for MailboxList

Q: What is the required access for MailboxList?

A: You need to be logged in and have a valid session to be able to do a mailbox list. Your user must also be linked to the mailbox that you are trying to do a listing for.

Change mailboxes

Q: Looking further into the API I do not see a method to change mailboxes (as a user action, not a setting or configuration), so perhaps I should have deduced that only a "network admin" would use such a function.

A: If you go through the API calls, there are many with an Ex suffix (e.g. MailboxList() and MailboxListEx()). The Ex APIs allow the NetworkID and MailboxID to be set, while the ones without the Ex default to the logged in user's NetworkID/Mailbox.
