28705	2001-12-27 09:41:00	Shelley, I've got Win98 and there's a Readme file regarding installing Windows Fax that may be of some use to you. The text is as follows: WHAT IS MICROSOFT MAIL POSTOFFICE? =================================== Microsoft Mail Postoffice was included in Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95, OSR2 and OSR2.5. Microsoft Mail Postoffice provides a centralized location for Network Administrators or Small Office Administrators to create and maintain a Workgroup Postoffice. The Administrator would create an account for each user within the Workgroup Postoffice. This account would then provide users the ability to send or receive e-mail to or from other users within the company network. WHAT IS MICROSOFT FAX? ======================= Microsoft Fax is a faxing application that requires a Full MAPI Client to operate, such as: Microsoft Exchange, Windows Messaging, Microsoft Exchange Server Client or Outlook97. Microsoft Fax was originally shipped with Windows for Workgroups as At Work Fax and later updated to Microsoft Fax and included in Windows 95, OSR2 and OSR2.5. This is the same update and does not include any feature changes. Microsoft Fax requires a fax modem. INSTALLATION ============ WMS.EXE Locate WMS.EXE on the Windows 98 CD ROM in Tools\OldWin95\Messaging directory. Launch the executable by double clicking the file or selecting the file and hitting Enter. Follow the prompts provided by the install. If prompted to reboot when setup is completed, select OK to allow setup to reboot and finalize settings. Once setup is finalized, first time users will need to create a profile. You can create a new profile by double clicking the Inbox Icon on the Desktop or selecting the Inbox Icon on the Desktop and hitting Enter. Follow the Inbox Setup Wizard instructions. This file installs Windows Messaging and Microsoft Mail Postoffice, also commonly referred to as a Workgroup Postoffice. Windows Messaging is a Full MAPI Client. WMS.EXE is provided for Microsoft Technical Support (MTS), or Windows 95, OSR2 and OSR2.5 upgrade users to repair pre-existing Windows 95 Microsoft Exchange, OSR2 and OSR2.5 Windows Messaging clients and Microsoft Mail Postoffice if they become corrupted. ('Pre-existing' requires that Microsoft Exchange or Windows Messaging and Microsoft Mail Postoffice is fully functional prior to upgrading to Windows 98.) If Microsoft Exchange or Windows Messaging files become corrupted, this will install updated versions of those files. WMS.EXE will add an Inbox Icon to the desktop as well as a Mail Icon and a Microsoft Mail Postoffice Icon to Control Panel if one does not already exist. If At Work Fax was configured in Windows For Workgroups Microsoft Mail prior to upgrading to Windows 98, this file will remove the At Work Fax functionality in Microsoft Mail and remove the At Work Fax Icon in Control Panel. The Inbox Icon on the Desktop will open to Windows Messaging once a profile has been created. The system must be able to access a Workgroup Postoffice Account in order to create a profile. WARNING: This file is an updated version of Windows Messaging. However, it does not contain any additional updates for Microsoft Mail Postoffice. This file does not contain any feature changes to Microsoft Windows Messaging or Microsoft Mail Postoffice. All known issues regarding Microsoft Windows Messaging and Microsoft Mail Postoffice will be applicable to this update. This file is not intended for use with Microsoft Exchange Server Client or Outlook 97. If errors occur within Microsoft Exchange Server Client or Outlook 97, it is recommended that you reinstall the original application. If it is necessary to install WMS.EXE to restore Microsoft Mail Postoffice functionality, it is recommended that you reinstall Microsoft Exchange Server Client or Outlook 97 after WMS.EXE install is complete. Hope this helps!	Guest (0)
