PC Win: MoveUser Does Not Change Access Privileges

• Microsoft Mail for Windows, versions 3.2 and 3.2a

SYMPTOMS

When you use version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows, you may only have the following two address lists available in the Open Directory dialog box:

   Personal Address Book (PAB)
   Post Office List (POL)

RESOLUTION

The postoffice administrator should modify the user's access privileges to include external with the Administration program (ADMIN.EXE), under Local- Admin, Modify.

MORE INFORMATION

On page 335 of the Microsoft Mail 3.2 "Administrator's Guide":

   "You can use Move User to move users from Microsoft Windows for
   Workgroups postoffices, and from Microsoft Mail 2.1 and 3.0
   postoffices."

If the MoveUser utility, available with version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, is used to move a user from a WFW to a Microsoft Mail for PC Networks postoffice, that user will not have external access privileges. The user will not be able to view any address lists except for the POL and the PAB.

The mail system administrator must use ADMIN.EXE to modify the user's access privileges to include external. Once modified, all normal external address lists will be available to the user.
