SYMPTOMS
========

When you try to send a message with Microsoft Mail for Windows, you may get the
following error message:

  Not enough memory or system resources to save changes.

CAUSE
=====

When Mail is trying to send a message, it also tries to write the changes to
your mail message file (.MMF). If there is corruption in the your .MMF, you may
get the above error.

The above error can also occur if the Mail client is left open, and Microsoft
Windows is exited. Some third-party network redirectors release the net
connections before all applications have terminated.

RESOLUTION
==========

To repair the corruption in your .MMF, follow the procedure below:

1. Run Mail.

2. From the Mail menu, choose Options.

3. From the Options dialog box, select the Server button.

4. Under Server Options, change the location of the message file from Postoffice
  to Local (for example, C:\MSMAIL.MMF). Click OK.

5. Click OK at the Options dialog box.

6. Exit and Sign-out of Mail.

7. Run the CHKMMF procedure by holding down the SHIFT key while you click the OK
  button (or press ENTER) after you type the mailbox name and password.

  NOTE: Hold down the Shift key until a dialog box appears with the following
  text:

  Do you want to have your message file checked for possible inconsistencies?
  Any problems found in the message file will be corrected. Verification may
  take up to several hours depending on the number of messages you have in your
  message file.

8. Select the Check file button.

9. Follow steps 2 through 4.

10. Under Server Options, change the location of the message file from Local to
  Postoffice. Click OK.

11. Click OK at the Options dialog box.

If you exited Microsoft Windows leaving Mail open, you should always exit and
sign out of Mail before ending the Microsoft Windows session.
