PC Win: Alternatives to CHKMMF

• Microsoft Mail for Windows, versions 3.2, 3.2a

SYMPTOMS

When you use versions 3.2 and 3.2a of Microsoft Mail for Windows, and you have a large mail message file (MMF), the program may terminate with a message indicating that there is not enough free hard drive space available.

WORKAROUND

The following alternatives may be used:

Method 1

• Export mail from the MMF to an export file. (This will move mail out of the MMF and into an export file that may reside on another drive.)



• Rename the old MMF, then create a new one.



• Import mail back into the new MMF.

Method 2

Compress the MMF (Hold the F5 key down when you launch Mail). This may reduce the MMF to a more manageable size.

Method 3

Delete unnecessary mail to reduce the size of the MMF file.
