The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Mail for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.2, 3.5 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you try to address a mail message in Mail for Windows, you only see the
Global Address List (GAL); you do not see the postoffice address and gateway
address lists. However, your Personal Address Book (PAB) is still available.

RESOLUTION
==========

If you can only view the GAL, you have the entry GALONLY=1 in the MSMAIL.INI in
the [Microsoft Mail] section. If you want to view the other address lists,
either remove the GALONLY=1 entry or change the entry in the MSMAIL.INI to the
following:

  [Microsoft Mail]
  GALONLY=0

Additional query words: 3.x 3.00 3.20 3.50 postoffice
