SUMMARY
=======

A security feature was added to Microsoft Mail version 3.0 that requires you to
type in your current password before you can enter a new password using the
Change Password command in the Mail menu. After pressing the OK button, another
dialog box will appear asking you to enter the new password again to verify it.

Using Mail version 2.0, users are not protected from having their passwords
inadvertently changed after logging onto their mail accounts. The user is not
required to enter the old password before entering the new one or to type the
new password twice to verify that it was spelled correctly.

Additional query words: 2.00 2.00a 2.00b 3.00
