SUMMARY
=======

When you start Schedule Plus without creating or connecting to an existing
Workgroup Postoffice, you may receive the following error message:

  Mail could not connect to your Mail server. The configuration for the Mail
  server path is missing or invalid.

If you want to use Schedule Plus locally (off-line) without receiving the above
error message, you must modify the Windows NT Registry.
