PC Win: Can Not Store Folders Separate from MMF (129900)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail for Windows 3.2
- Microsoft Mail for Windows 3.2a
This article was previously published under Q129900 SUMMARY
The "User's Guide" for Microsoft Mail Windows and Presentation Manager
states the following on page 29:
You can store your messages in folders that you keep on your hard
disk or on the postoffice. Folders kept on your hard disk are
private, whereas folders kept on your postoffice can be private
or shared with other users on your postoffice.
This incorrectly implies that you can store private folders on your local
hard drive separate from the Mail message file(MMF).
MORE INFORMATIONShared Folders
Shared folders created with the Windows client will always be stored on the
postoffice. You cannot store shared folders on your local hard drive.
Private Folders
Private folders are always stored inside the MMF. If your MMF is stored on
the postoffice, your private folders will be kept inside the MMF on the
postoffice. If your MMF is stored on your hard disk, your private folders
will be stored inside your local MMF.
You cannot store your private folders outside of your MMF; therefore, you
cannot choose where your private folders will be stored independently of
the MMF.
