MORE INFORMATION

The files included in this bug-fix release update those that shipped in Windows 95. They include bug fixes and provide users running Microsoft Exchange with Windows 95 access to their Microsoft Mail shared folders.

       profile by selecting it from the list and choosing Remove.

       then choosing Microsoft Mail from the list of services that
       you can add.  The Microsoft Mail configuration pages appear.
   

10. On the Connection page, type the path to your Microsoft Mail

        postoffice in the Edit box.  If you were previously using
        Microsoft Mail, the path will be entered for you.
        Click the Logon tab.
    

11. Type your mailbox and password in the appropriate boxes. If

        you were previously using Microsoft Mail, the names will be
        entered for you.  Select the When Logging On, Automatically
        Enter Password check box.
    

12. Click OK to add the service, then click OK again to save the

        changes to your profile.  The next time you run Microsoft
