MORE INFORMATION

This update contains the Rebuild Mail program file (REBUILD.EXE), a replacement for the Rebuild program file that is included with versions 3.2 and 3.2a of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks. This update resolves the following problems:

This replacement file corrects a problem that occurs on MS-DOS and Macintosh workstations when the GALNETPO.GLB file is regenerated while REBUILD.EXE is running.

In certain conditions, Rebuild would complete its process without failing or returning errors. However, the global address list (GAL) would not contain all the expected names. If a network error occurred during the Rebuild process and Rebuild was unable to create or process a temporary file, an error would not be reported.
