To update your ATTMAIL.DLL file

  1. Verify that the AT&T Mail driver is the current driver in the Mail System Selector (MAILDRV.EXE) by running the Mail System Selector from Program Manager, selecting AT&T Mail, and choosing Set As Current Mail Driver.

  2. At the MS-DOS command prompt, type the following and press ENTER

          copy <path>:\attmail.dll <destination>
    

    where <path> is the drive and directory where you ran the self- extracting ATTMAIL.EXE file and <destination> is the drive and directory where your ATTMAIL.DLL file currently resides. For example, if you ran the self-extracting file from the TEST directory on drive D, and your ATTMAIL.DLL file is located in the Windows SYSTEM subdirectory on drive C, type the following command:

          copy d:\test\attmail.dll c:\windows\system
