SUMMARY
=======

This article describes a method for copying messages stored in a folder in
version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows Mail Message File (MMF) to a folder
accessible within the Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, MS-DOS workstation.

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

During the Windows client operation, messages stored in the MMF are not
accessible to the MS-DOS client. To copy messages stored in a folder within the
MMF to a folder accessible to the MS-DOS client, use the following steps:

1. From the Windows client, move any Inbox messages to a temporary folder (for
  example, a folder named temp) that you do NOT want copied to the MS-DOS
  client folder.

2. Move any messages that you want copied to the MS-DOS client folder into the
  Inbox.

3. From the Mail menu, choose Options. Select Server. From within the Server
  dialog box, select the Copy Inbox on Postoffice for Dialin Access check box.

4. From the File menu, choose Exit and Sign Out.

  The following dialog box may be displayed:

  Your Inbox is not completely synchronized with the postoffice.
  Do you want to synchronize it before quitting?

  Select the Yes button.

  The Windows client will then copy the mail messages stored in the MMF to the
  postoffice. These messages should now be accessible in the Inbox of the
  MS-DOS client.

5. Run the MS-DOS client.

  NOTE: The mail messages previously copied from a folder in the MMF to the MMFs
  Inbox are now available in the MS-DOS client's Inbox.

6. Create a new MS-DOS client folder using the Options, Folders, Create command
  (or use and existing MS-DOS client folder). Move the messages from the MS-DOS
  client's Inbox to the folder using the Storage, Save command.
