SUMMARY
=======

IMPORTANT: All Microsoft Mail version 2.0 customers who have gateways installed
should be using the "MS Mail GW" file version 2.00b and the "Microsoft Mail
Server" file version 2.00b, both of which are located in the System Folder of
the Mail server. An updated "MS Mail GW" file is available through Microsoft End
User Sales and Service at (800) 426-9400 or Microsoft International Customer
Service at (206) 936-8661 but ONLY for customers using the AppleLink Gateway to
Microsoft Mail. Customers using other gateways must obtain an updated "MS Mail
GW" file from the developer of the gateway they are using. The Microsoft Mail
server upgrade can also be obtained at the above numbers.

     select the "MS Mail 2.0" or "MS Mail" icon in the Chooser and make sure
     the gateway server's name is selected.

  b. Click the Chooser's close box to return to the desktop.

  c. Start the Gateway Installer program.

  d. Select the AppleLink gateway from the "Gateways Installed On This Server"
     list in the Gateway Installer window.

  e. From the Gateway menu, choose Extract Access Gateway.

     Chooser.

  b. Select the appropriate AppleTalk zone and select the name of the Mail
     server you are making an access server.c. Close the Chooser.

  c. If you are not running the Gateway Installer from step 1f above, start the
     Gateway Installer program.

  d. The name of the Mail server you are making an access server should be
     displayed.

  e. From the Access menu, choose Install Access Gateway.

  f. Select the file named "AppleLink Access Gateway", created in step 1f
     above, and click the Install button.

     gateway accounts defined.

     window.
