PC Win: Network List Doesn't Sort Alphabetically

Article ID: Q99120
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Mail for Windows, version 3.0

SYMPTOMS

External postoffices, SNADS DGNs, and nodes for PROFS and OfficeVision are not displayed in alphabetic order in the Network List because version 3.0 of Microsoft Mail for Windows reads them in one at a time and adds them to the hierarchy. Thus they are displayed in the order they were set up.

STATUS
