PC Ext: External Won't Dial Out Unless There Is Outbound MailLast reviewed: June 10, 1996Article ID: Q118676 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSWhen you use the External Mail program (EXTERNAL.EXE) to transfer mail between postoffices that are connected via modem, the External Mail program may not dial out to pick up mail from the other postoffice even though it is configured for twoway transfer and there is mail waiting to be picked up.
CAUSEThere is no outbound mail. The External Mail program only dials out if there is outbound mail.
RESOLUTIONThis is a limitation of the External Mail program. The messages waiting at the other postoffice will be transferred to the destination if the External Mail program at the other postoffice is permitted to transmit messages. However, when there are dial-up restrictions, you can create outbound mail messages so External will dial out and pick up waiting messages. You can do this by using the AUTOSEND MAPI application that is provided in the SAMPLE.EXE file included with the MAPI.DLL update, MAPIUPD.EXE.
You can find MAPIUPD.EXE (size: 989340 bytes) , a self-extracting file, on the followingservices:
