ID: Q86374

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, versions 3.0, 3.0a
on the following platforms: MS-DOS, MACINTOSH

SUMMARY

All Microsoft Mail for PC Networks clients are compatible with version 2.x postoffices; however, the clients are not compatible with version 1.x postoffices. If the Macintosh or MS-DOS client is run against a version 2.x postoffice, the client will issue a warning message on startup and then proceeds to the login display.

For the Macintosh client, the message is:

The version of your postoffice is older than the Macintosh client you are running. Please notify your administrator.

For the MS-DOS client, the message is:

Postoffice version is older than this program version. Notify administrator.

NOTE: If the version 3.0 Mail program is run against a version 2.x postoffice without the version 3.0 MS-DOS client Install program being run on that postoffice, the following error message is displayed:

Cannot access server error file: ENGMAI.GLB

This message means that the MS-DOS version 3.0 error file is not installed on that postoffice.

Additional query words: 3.00 3.00a postoffice
