The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, version 3.2

SUMMARY

In Novell NetWare version 4.0 and later, you can use special characters in user login and server names that will not work with the DrivesNovell option.

MORE INFORMATION

DrivesNovell option requires the following:

   SERVERNAME/VOLUME:\MAILDATA LOGINNAME PASSWORD.

In case of NetWare 4.0 and later, this SERVERNAME and LOGINNAME can contain the following special characters:

   / Slash
   \ Backslash
   : Colon
   , Comma
   * Asterisk
   ? Question mark

These special characters will not work if used with the DrivesNovell option. Instead, a non-NetWare version 4.0 client workstation naming standard must be used.

For more information see the "Supervising the Network" manual, pages 34-37.
