SYMPTOMS

After you install Microsoft At Work PC Fax, you may no longer be able to send
mail to users sharing the same post office. When you send a message to a member
of the post office, the message returns with an "Undeliverable Mail" error
message. The text of the mail message reads

  The message recipient was invalid.

  The PostOffice List icon in the Address Book may be unavailable in Microsoft
  Mail.

-or-

  The Open Other's Appt. Book option may be unavailable in Microsoft Schedule+.

CAUSE
=====

If Microsoft Mail was installed with Microsoft Windows for Workgroups version
3.1 and you choose to install Microsoft At Work PC Fax for "Fax Only" rather
than "Email And Fax" in Windows for Workgroups 3.11, the MSMAIL.INI file is not
properly updated.

following changes:

1. Rename the following files:

  MSMAIL.INI
  EFAXPUMP.INI
  SCHDPLUS.INI.

  a. In the SCHDPLUS.INI file, remove the following statement:

         ScheduleTransport=TRNOFF
       

     NOTE: The "ScheduleTransport=TRNOFF" entry in the SCHPLUS.INI file causes
     the "This account is for a resource" check box in the Schedule Plus
     Options dialog box to be unavailable.
