The user environment is the server or workstation containing the database for: replication formulas, agents with the triggers "After new mail has arrived" or "On schedule," selection formulas, or column formulas. Otherwise, the user environment is the Notes workstation of the user running the formula.

User names can be either distinguished or non-distinguished, and distinguished names can be canonical or abbreviated. Use @Name to change the form of a user name.

The following @functions return or process information on the user environment.

@Domain	Returns the name of the user's Lotus Notes/Domino mail domain.
@MailDbName	Returns the server name and path name for the user's mail database. This @function evaluates to a 2-member list.
@Name([key]; name)	Changes the form of a user name. The keywords include [CN] to extract the common name from a distinguished name, [Abbreviate] to abbreviate a distinguished name in canonical form, [Canonicalize] to do the reverse, and [ToKeyword] to put the name components in reverse order separated by backslashes (for categorized views).
