- Q: ( General )
- I have downloaded the Win32 version but it does not work on my
- Windows 3.1x with Win32s support installed?

-
- Q: ( MailSend , MailExtr )
- When should I use MAPI?
-
- Use MAPI if you have an Exchange Server, MSMail Remote or you want to

- in the Win95 client.
-
-
- Q: ( MailSend, MailExtr )
- I have installed MSMail 3.x on my Win95 machine and every time
- I use MAPI I am getting an error?
-
- Make sure you have the MAPI.DLL from MSMAil 3.x and not the one that
- comes with Win95. ( The size of the MSMAIl 3.x MAPI.DLL is appx
- 50-70k, whereas the Win95 MAPI.DLL is appx 400-500k)
-
- Also use the Win16 version and not the Win32, because MSMail 3.x
- MAPI.DLL is 16 bit.
-
-
- Q: ( MailSend, MailExtr )
- When I use MAPI a logon dialog box pops up?
-
- Either your password is not valid or you have no password.
- If you have no password (password is blank), add the line
-
- Password=
-
- to you MSMail.INI.

-
- Q: ( General )
- How to send to a server based group?
-
- Syntax is: CSI:Network/Postoffice/Groupname
-
- The following statement is from Article ID Q119685 and is
- Copyright 1993 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
-
- When mailing to a group, the group address must be used, not the
- alias name. Both the Admin program and the mail clients display only
- the alias for postoffice groups, not the real addresses. Mail sent to
- the alias will not be delivered.
-
- Find the group address using one of the three procedures below and
- use it when you send the mail.
-
- - Record the address when the group is created in the Admin program
- (LOCAL ADMIN-GROUP-CREATE).
-
- - Export the address list to another postoffice. The group address
- appears on the other postoffice.
-
- - Make a copy of the \GLB\GROUP.GLB file, from the Microsoft Mail
- Postoffice, and use the MS-DOS TYPE command to list the file. This file
- is not formatted when it appears, but it shows the association of group
- alias to group name.
-
-
- Q: ( MailRed )
- MailRed runs fine as a Service until I moved it to a different location.
- Now I am getting a NT Error's every time I start the computer.
-
- You need to remove the Service and reinstall it, because the
- directory name is stored in the Service database.
-
-
- Q: ( MailRed )
- I am getting a "Error: Can't create Attachment! ( 232 ) ".
- I am getting a "Error: Can't write Attachment! ( 235 ) ".
- What does this mean?
-
- MailRed needs to extract a attachment out of the postoffice and
- fails in creating/writing to a temp file.
-
- MailRed uses one of the following directories for a temp file:
-
- 1) directory where TEMP enviroment variable points to
- 2) directory where MailRed.Exe resides
- 3) the current directory
-
-
- If you get an "Error: Can't write Attachment! ( 235 ) " error,
- its most common that your disk is full.
-
- If you get an "Error: Can't create Attachment! ( 235 ) " error,
- its most common that your have not enough networtk rights.
-
-
-
- Q: ( MailSend )
- Why does MailSend reformat my included ( -i ) text file?
-
- MailSend reformats a text so that no line is longer than 78
- characters. The reason is that the DOS Client and a lot of gateways
- exspect no line longer than 78 chars or otherwise they crash.
-
- Ok, but I can send lines as long as I want if I use the Windows Client.
- Why can't MailSend do the same?
-
- The Windows Client breaks the lines at the 78 position too, but it
- uses a hidden attachment called WINMAIL.DAT where it save all the
- positions and the receiving client transforms the text based on the
- information in the Windows Client.
-
- MailSend can't write a WINMAIL.DAT, because the format of WINMAIL.DAT
- is unknown at this time.
-
-
- Q: ( MailRed Admin 32bit , MailProbe Admin 32bit , MailBeamer Admin 32bit )
- When I press the button labeled "Address" nothing happends or I am
- getting an error. I have installed the MSMail 3.2/3.5 Client?
-
- The MSMail 3.2/3.5 Client is an 16bit application and uses 16bit DLL's,
- but the Admin is needs a 32bit DLL's.
-
- For MailRed and MailProbe you need to use the 16bit version of Admin.
-
- For MailBeamer, there is no solution other that using a 32bit MSMail
- Client.
-
-
- Q: ( MailBeamer )
- I am getting the error "WinSock Error: Port or address already in use!"
- What does this mean?
-
- There is a program running on your machine that prevents MailBeamer from
- using port 25 ( for SMTP ) or port 110 ( for POP3 ).
-
- Stop this program, so that MailBeamer can use the port.
-
- Note: Some POP3 Clients hook silently into a port. So make sure you
- close all programs that are related in any way to SMTP or POP3.
-
-
- Q: ( MailBeamer )
- At startup MailBeamer displays "running on localhost [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]"
-
- If you have more than one IP address on your machine, than make sure
- the Reverse Lookup is working for ALL of them. If MailBeamer is
- unable to get the machine name it will use "localhost" instead.
-
-
- Q: ( MailBeamer )
- When I receive an error message the sender is "Admin".
- Shouldn't it be "Postmaster"?
-
- Yes, it should be "Postmaster", but some clients have troubles
- displaying messages from "Postmaster" and so "Admin" is used.
-
- Q: ( MailBeamer )
- At startup MailBeamer displays "Error: No machine name given!"
- What is the solution ?
-
- This happends only in Win95
- Start "Control Panel->Network->Identification" and make sure there is
- something in the field labeled "Computername"
-
-
- If the above does not work, then start Control Panel->Network->DUN
- Select the TCP/IP properties of your connection type
- ( either DUN or the LAN adapter )
-
- On the tab labeled "DNS-Configuration" select "DNS active".
- Then type in the machine name and domain name of your machine.
- Also type in your name server.
-
- Win95 needs to reboot after that.
- Try if MailBeamer runs now.
-
- If it works, you can disable the DNS, because Win95 has initialized
- it's internal structures.
-
- Q: ( MailBeamer )
- How do I manually install the web components of MailBeamer?
-
- - Create a directory below the MailBeamer directory called "MSG-WEB"
- - Copy all the *.htm file into this direcory
- - Start MBAdmin and select "View->Options->Connections"
- and select "Inbound Only" in "HTTP"
