WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause
serious, system-wide problems that may require you to
reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot
guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of
Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own
risk.
The following procedure outlines the steps to remove an unwanted
workgroup postoffice (WGPO) under Windows NT. This procedure returns
Microsoft Mail to the state it was in before running Mail for the
first time.
WARNING: Back up (export) any mail you want to retain before proceeding
with the following.
1. Using File Manager, delete the postoffice directory and all
subdirectories in it. The default name of the Windows NT postoffice
directory is WGPO and it can be located in the root directory or a
subdirectory of any available partition on the hard disk drive.
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious,
system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to
correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting
from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your
own risk.
2. Start Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE) and select the following
subkey to highlight it:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Mail\Microsoft Mail
3. Press the DELETE key on your keyboard, or choose Delete from the
Edit menu, and then press ENTER to confirm the action.
The next time you start MS Mail, you will have the option of
connecting to an existing postoffice, or creating a new postoffice,
and then continuing with the rest of the initial MS Mail setup.
