  on the following platforms: MS-DOS

SYMPTOMS

While composing a message in version 3.0, 3.0a, or 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, MS-DOS workstation, you may receive the following message:

Notice 98 No log folder has been defined

CAUSE

When you create a folder and set Autologging to Yes by selecting Options, Configure, Log, Folder, Compose-Messages, the ACCESS3.GLB is updated with this information.

If you delete this folder with Autologging still set to Yes, then Options, Configure, Log, Folder, and Compose-Messages are blank and Autologging appears to be set to No. However, the information is not actually reset; the program still looks for a log folder and ACCESS3.GLB is not updated when you delete a folder.

This error occurs with Compose_Messages and Read_Messages log folders, regardless of whether the folder is private or shared.

RESOLUTION

Create a new folder by selecting Options, Configure, Log, Folder, Compose-Messages. Choose the folder and set Autologging to No. Then delete the folder.

STATUS
