MORE INFORMATION

The ATTIMP.EXE utility imports mail folders created by the AT&T Access Plus products to the Mail message file (MMF) used by Microsoft Mail Remote for Windows. You should use this utility only with the AT&T Mail driver. If you try to use it with any other driver, you will receive the following error:

You are not using the AT&T Mail driver. Use the Mail System Selector to select AT&T Mail as the current driver and try again.

For more information about using the Mail System Selector, see the Microsoft Mail Remote for Windows "User's Guide."

     -------------------------------------------------

Before you run ATTIMP.EXE, use the Microsoft Mail Selector to make sure that the AT&T driver is the current mail driver and that the Access Plus OUT folder is empty.

To run ATTIMP.EXE, double-click the AT&T Folder Conversion icon created in step 2.

The ATTIMP.EXE utility will first prompt for the path to the Access Plus File Cabinet. It expects to find a directory that contains IN, OUT, and SESSION subdirectories. Except for the IN and WASTE folders, a folder with the same name as the Access Plus folder will be created at the topmost level of the private folders in the MMF. Messages will then be imported to the corresponding folders (these messages are AT&T messages of type MSU, MSG, MSS, MSR, and MSQ). If a folder with the same name already exists, Access Plus messages will be added to it. The WASTE folder will not be imported and messages in the IN folder will be imported into the Inbox folder.

NOTES:

This utility does not import address directories, nor does it change the personal address book (PAB).

If you run the utility twice on the same messages, duplicate messages will be imported.
