PC WRmt: Cannot Create New .MMF If Old Location Unavailable (103905)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail Remote for Windows 3.2
This article was previously published under Q103905 SYMPTOMS
Version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail Remote for Windows may return the following
error message
Your message file could not be found
followed by:
Open Message File
After the error message, even if you change to a different directory, Mail
Remote ignores the change to the directory and creates a new Mail message
file (.MMF) in the directory listed on the OfflineMessages line of the
MSMAIL.INI file.
CAUSE
This error occurs only when the Mail Remote for Windows .MMF file is moved
to a floppy disk or to a network drive, and you start Mail with the floppy
disk out of the drive or with the network drive disconnected. If this
occurs, it is impossible to create a new message file from the dialog box.
Following the design of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, Mail Remote for
Windows ignores changed directories when you are in the dialog box for
creating a new message file. Because the old location is not available (due
to the floppy disk being out of the drive or the network connection
missing), the error appears.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, either modify or comment out the
OfflineMessages line in the MSMAIL.INI file.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 3.2 of Microsoft
Mail Remote for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
