The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, versions 3.2, 3.2a, 3.5

SYMPTOMS
========

When you import a file into a Mail postoffice, you may get the following error
message:

  Fatal error 54 Server name could not be accessed.

RESOLUTION
==========

Remove the -c IMPORT.EXE command line option.

The -c option will try to create new postoffices. However, it needs to know about
an existing Directory Synchronization (Dir-Sync) server, and if this has not
been defined, it will give the above error.

For additional information, please refer to the "Administrator's Guide," Appendix
A, page 319 for version 3.2 or page 320 for version 3.5 Microsoft Mail for PC
Networks.
