SUMMARY
When the External Mail program (EXTERNAL.EXE) is started from version
3.2 of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, the home postoffice must be
assigned a direct drive.
MORE INFORMATION
There are two stages to running the External Mail program with direct
drives:
- The Mail Administrator physically connects the machine running the
External Mail program to the postoffice's directory on a file
server.
- The Mail Administrator runs the External Mail program, specifying
the drive letters of the direct connections.
To specify the drive letters of the direct connections, the Mail
administrator uses one of the following options:
By default, the External Mail program assumes that the first letter in
the drive range is connected to the home postoffice. For example, if
the machine running External is connected to postoffices on drives M,
N, O, and P, then the parameter -Dmp tells External that the home
postoffice is on drive M. If, however, the home postoffice is one of
the other drives in the range (O and P in this example), then the
administrator must specify the drive letter of the home postoffice
with one of the following options:
- In the .INI file:
DriveHomePO=<drive>
- On command line:
/DriveHomePO=<drive>
-or-
-H<drive>
