The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups versions 3.1, 3.11
SUMMARY
With Windows for Workgroups Mail, the Workgroup Postoffice can be set
up from one computer to another computer across the network.
MORE INFORMATION
Assume the following in this example of a remotely created and
administered Workgroups Postoffice:
- The postoffice is set up and administered from machine 1.
- The postoffice files are actually kept on machine 2.
NOTE: The user on machine 1 is the Post Office Manager, but the
postoffice files are stored on Machine 2
- Machine 1 is a Windows for Workgroups machine.
- Machine 2 is a machine with server/sharing capabilities,
such as a Windows for Workgroups machine, a LAN Manager
2.1 server, or a Novell server.
NOTE: Novell servers require some special attention. For more
information, query on the following in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base:
novell and netware and server and wgpo
After Windows for Workgroups setup is complete on machine 1, the
designated administrator of the Workgroups Mail postoffice should take
the following steps:
- On machine 1, from the Main group, start Workgroups Mail.
- Choose Create A New Workgroup Postoffice.
- To connect to machine 2, choose the Network button.
If Machine 2 is a Windows for Workgroups machine or a LAN Manager
2.1 server, type the server name and share name (that is,
\\server\share) where you want the postoffice created, then choose
the OK button.
NOTE: You must have access rights to the \\server\share.
If Machine 2 is a Novell server, you must be logged onto the
Novell server and have the correct permissions. Then you
should connect to the server using one of these conventions:
server/share:directory
\\server\share\directory
remapped drive:\directory
For more information on the Novell naming conventions, check
your Novell NetWare documentation.
- After the Workgroup Postoffice has been created, check to ensure
that the postoffice is shared properly on machine 2.
