VileFoulAndEvil: the adventures in getting a working mailbox

Day 1:

The name of the mailbox is misspelled and it does not let me it because my username on the server is not misspelled and the mailbox does not belong to it.

I send email to ThreeDyslexicSysadmins with my real name, explaining the situation.

Day 2:

The name of the mailbox is misspelled in a new way.

I send email to ThreeDyslexicSysadmins with my real name, explaining the situation.

Day 3:

The name of the mailbox is misspelled in a yet new way.

I send email to ThreeDyslexicSysadmins with my real name, explaining the situation and encouraging them to use cut and paste to correct the problem.

The name of the mailbox is misspelled in a fourth way.

I go upstairs to see the ThreeDyslexicSysadmins in person. SysadminBodyguard rushes to stop me.

SysadminBodyguard: You can't go in there! Fill out a ticket like everyone else.
Koodiorjatyttö: I have filled out three tickets on the same subject already. I need to talk to them in person.
SysadminBodyguard: No! You can't! (covers the door with her body)
Koodiorjatyttö: I am sorry. (being much bigger and much younger, moves SysadminBodyguard aside and comes in)

Note to the employers: I do not wish to give sexist offence to anyone, but small women in their late fifties rarely make very efficient bodyguards. If you have sysdamins like these you should employ large young men to guard their bodies and peace.

I find the ThreeDyslexicSysadmins in person and under my watchful eye they create a proper mailbox.
