The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Mail Gateway to MCI, version 3.0

The workstation that runs the Microsoft Mail Gateway to MCI must be a dedicated PC with a modem. The gateway transmits mail items between Microsoft Mail and MCI.

The gateway picks up mail items from Microsoft Mail, dials MCI, logs in, and passes the mail items to MCI. The gateway then downloads any mail waiting in its MCI account, disconnects, and distributes the downloaded mail to the appropriate Microsoft Mail users.
