PC Ext: External Mail Program's -Qx Option

ID: Q92438

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, versions 2.1, 3.0, 3.2, 3.5

SUMMARY

The External Mail program in Microsoft Mail supports an undocumented -Qx option that supplements the documented -V (verbose) option. The -Qx option reports on major operations and displays the results in the Activity section of the External program screen.

The four -Qx options are as follows:

Q1 reports main points of the program when scanning and delivering mail.

Q2 reports the state of the serial buffer.

Q3 reports the state of the P1 files in versions 3.2 and 3.0. It is not available in Microsoft Mail version 2.1.

Q4 reports memory usage.

Each option places its report in the "LAN Postoffice Mail Activity" section of External's program screen.

The -Q4 option does not log any information into the SESSION.LOG file. The memory usage information reported by -Q4 is cryptic, especially in Microsoft Mail version 2.1.

The -Qx options are meant for advanced developers and product support personnel to help them debug programs and troubleshoot problems. Because of the technical and cryptic nature of the -Qx reports, they can be misleading to less technical users.
