Specifying a Mail Driver

Microsoft Mail can use an installable mail driver to connect to various servers (such as Microsoft Mail Remote) or services (such as AT&T Mail). Use the Microsoft Mail System Selector to choose the appropriate mail system driver. The driver currently in use is the current mail driver.

Caution: Do not restart your computer while selecting a driver. If you do, you may have to reinstall Mail Remote.

1	Double-click the Microsoft Mail System Selector icon.

2	In the Installed Mail Drivers box, select the mail driver you want to make current.

3	Choose the Set As Current Mail Driver button.

The newly chosen mail driver appears in the Current Mail Driver box.

Removing a Mail Driver

If you install a Mail driver and find that you are not using it and need the additional space on your hard drive, use the Microsoft Mail System Selector to remove it.

Caution: Removing the driver erases all files in the associated subdirectory; for example, removing the AT&T driver deletes all files in the AT&T subdirectory.

2	In the Installed Mail Drivers box, select the mail driver you want to remove.
