SUMMARY
=======

Microsoft Mail (PC Client) will not run under versions of Windows/386 prior to
version 2.10. In Windows/386, you have the option to run applications in Window
or Full Screen mode and in one of three tasking options: Foreground, Background,
and Exclusive. To run Mail within Windows/386, do the following:

1. Start Windows/386.

2. In the MS-DOS Executive window, run the MAIL386.PIF file. This file is
  automatically copied to your Mail directory by the Setup program. A window
  will appear with the DOS prompt.

3. At the DOS prompt, type the appropriate command to start AppleTalk with the
  network card you have installed in your system.

4. Type "notifier" (without the quotation marks) to start the Notifier and sign
  in to the Mail system.

5. Type "mail" (without the quotation marks) to open your mailbox.

6. When you're finished with your mailbox, choose Exit from the File menu to
  return to the MS-DOS Executive window while remaining signed in to the Mail
  system.

MORE INFORMATION
================

If you are viewing the Mail window, an alert box will alert you to the arrival
of new mail in your mailbox. If you are working with an application in
Windows/386 and new mail arrives, you will hear a chime if you've chosen that
option in Mail's Preferences window.

Note: If you are using a TOPS FlashCard to connect your PC workstation to the
AppleTalk network, you cannot run Mail under Microsoft Windows.
