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

This update contains the Rebuild Mail program file (REBUILD.EXE), a replacement
for the Rebuild program file that is included with versions 3.2 and 3.2a of
Microsoft Mail for PC Networks. This update resolves the following problems:

This replacement file corrects a problem that occurs on MS-DOS and Macintosh
workstations when the GALNETPO.GLB file is regenerated while REBUILD.EXE is
running.

In certain conditions, Rebuild would complete its process without failing or
returning errors. However, the global address list (GAL) would not contain all
the expected names.


If a network error occurred during the Rebuild process and Rebuild was unable to
create or process a temporary file, an error would not be reported.

To update your REBUILD.EXE file
-------------------------------

At the MS-DOS command prompt, type the following and press ENTER

  " copy <drive>:\rebuild.exe <destination> " (without the

where <drive> is the drive and directory where you ran the self- extracting
REBUPD.EXE file and <destination> is the drive and directory where your
REBUILD.EXE file currently resides. For example, if you ran the self-extracting
file from the TEST directory on drive D, and your REBUILD.EXE file is located in
the MAILEXE directory on drive C, type the following command:

  " copy d:\test\rebuild.exe c:\mailexe " (without the quotation marks)

NOTE: The REBUILD.EXE file typically resides on the postoffice server in the Mail
