MORE INFORMATION

This update contains MOVEUSER.EXE, a replacement for the MOVEUSER.EXE file that is included with version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks. This update corrects the following problem:

Users moved from one postoffice to another postoffice with the MOVEUSER utility are assigned an invalid identification number if the TID.GLB file on the destination postoffice is locked open. Moving multiple users while the TID.GLB file is locked open results in the same invalid identification number being assigned to multiple users. When Mail is addressed to one of these users, the other users with the same invalid identification number also get added to the recipients list. To avoid this problem, the MOVEUSER version 3.2.8 update will not move a user if the TID.GLB file is locked open.
