Moving or Changing the Workgroup Postoffice
When the Mail application initializes, the initialization procedure associates the computer running Mail with a particular workgroup postoffice. When a workgroup postoffice must be moved to a different location, it is necessary to change this association. Similarly, a computer that moves to a different workgroup must be associated with the postoffice for that workgroup.
To move a workgroup postoffice, follow these steps:
- Make sure that the new directory is shared with full access by all users.
- Use File Manager to move the WGPO directory to its new location, being sure to move all subdirectories.
To change the location of the workgroup postoffice for a computer, perform the following step:
- If the computer is running Windows NT, in the Registry, edit the ServerPath entry in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Mail\Microsoft Mail to indicate the location of the postoffice.
– Or –
- If the computer is running Windows for Workgroups, edit the MSMAIL.INI file to change the Serverpath= line to indicate the location of the postoffice.
