SUMMARY
=======

Offline operation can be invoked under two different conditions when using
version 3.1 of Microsoft Mail for the Macintosh.

If the chosen server is available, offline operation can be invoked by pressing
the SHIFT key while selecting Microsoft Mail from the Apple Menu.

If the chosen server is not available, a dialog box is presented to the user
advising that Mail is unable to connect to a Mail server. Mail then asks if the
user would like to work offline. The workstation software continues to look for
a server on the network.

NOTE: The offline preference must have been enabled and at least one mail session
with the mail server must have occurred before offline operation can occur. This
is necessary because the server must download resources such as the address list
to the workstation in order to support offline operation. These resources are
written to the MS Mail Cache file and therefore shared by all users who share
the same machine. Given this fact, if offline operation is invoked, it must be
by the same account that last had a successful login to a server.
