-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======

The Postoffice Diagnostics Utility (PODIAG.EXE) has seven different toolbar
icons. The toolbar will appear under the menu bar if the View, Toolbar option is
selected.

Reading from left to right, the first icon is a folder being opened. This is the
Open PO icon. This icon is used to select a postoffice on which to run the
diagnostics. This icon has a menu equivalence of choosing Open Postoffice from
the File menu.

The second icon is a folder being closed. This is the Close PO icon. This icon is
used when the administrator has finished running the diagnostics on the
postoffice that was opened. This icon has a menu equivalence of choosing Close
Postoffice from the File menu.

The third icon is a single person running. This is the Run Selected Tool icon.
This icon will initially be unavailable (gray) when a postoffice is first
opened. This icon will become accessible once you select one of the tools.
Selecting this icon will bring up the preference dialog box for the selected
tool. You can then run the tool by selecting either Check or Check & Fix.
You can choose not to run the tool at this point and can select either Close or
Cancel. The Close option saves the tool's preferences and closes the preference
dialog box. The Cancel option cancels the check and does not save the tool's
preferences.

The fourth icon is two people running. This is the Run All Tools Listed icon.
This icon will immediately begin running all of the tools listed without
prompting you for any further input, provided that the AutoFix= statement in the
[Microsoft Mail PO Diagnostics] section of the PODIAG.INI file is set to "No."
If AutoFix=Yes, a dialog box will appear, warning that the postoffice must not
be accessed by any programs while it is being checked and fixed. If AutoFix=No,
all of the listed tools will be run in Check mode only.

The fifth icon is a pair of eyeglasses. This is the View Current Log File icon.
This icon displays the postoffice's PODIAG.LOG file. The default log viewer
utility is NOTEPAD.EXE. However, you can set the log viewer to another
application by setting the LogViewer= statement in the PODIAG.INI file to
something other than NOTEPAD.EXE.

The sixth icon is a star. This is the Re-Initialize Tools icon. This icon will
reset the tool information that appears once the tool has been run. This
information appears in bold letters to the right of each of the tool
definitions. Examples of the information that will be cleared from the display
are the number of warnings, number of errors, and the date and time the tool was
last run.

The seventh icon is a question mark. This icon is the Help On Selected Tool icon.
This icon brings up the Help information on the selected tool or, if no tools
are selected, it brings up general help for the utility.
