ID: Q140072
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Mail Remote for Windows, version 3.2
-
Microsoft Mail for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 3.2, 3.2a, 3.5
SYMPTOMS
After you upgrade from Microsoft Windows version 3.x to Microsoft Windows
95, the previously installed version 3.x of Mail for Windows or Mail Remote
for Windows may not perform properly.
CAUSE
During the Windows 95 upgrade, if Exchange Inbox components are selected
for installation, MAPI.DLL is overwritten with a new MAPI.DLL for the
Microsoft Windows 95 Exchange client, and MAILSPL.EXE is renamed to
MAILSPL.BAK.
NOTE: The MAPI.DLL and MAILSPL.EXE files reside in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM
directory.
RESOLUTION
You can recover using one of the two methods below:
Method 1
- Remove the Exchange Inbox components by opening the Control Panel
and selecting Add/Remove Programs then the Windows Setup tab. Clear the
Exchange Inbox check box. Click the OK button.
- Restore version 3.x of Mail for Windows or Mail Remote for Windows
MAPI.DLL file, and rename the MAILSPL.BAK file to MAILSPL.EXE.
The MAPI.DLL file can be copied from another non-Windows 95 machine's
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM subdirectory, or the MAPI.DLL file can be expanded
off of version 3.x of Mail for Windows or Mail Remote for Windows
installation disks.
Method 2
- Remove the Exchange Inbox components by opening the Control Panel
and selecting Add/Remove Programs then the Windows Setup tab. Clear the
Exchange Inbox check box. Click the OK button.
- Reinstall version 3.x of Mail for Windows or Mail Remote for Windows
into Windows 95 from the original installation disks.
NOTE: For reinstalling Mail Remote, you will need a data disk and the
three Microsoft Mail Remote for Windows Setup disks.
- Delete the \WINDOWS\MSMAIL\MSRMT subdirectory.
IMPORTANT: If the mail message file (MMF) has been moved to the
\WINDOWS\MSMAIL\MSRMT subdirectory, make sure it is copied to another
directory before you delete the subdirectory.
- Reinstall Mail Remote for Windows.
- Set the Port, Script, and other options as necessary.
