available.

Examples of SFS post offices include the post offices created by Microsoft
Windows for Workgroups 3.x, Windows 95, and Microsoft Mail3.x.

CAUSE

shared folders on an SFS post office.

following steps:

1. Download the Exupdusa.exe file from the Microsoft Software Library to an

  installed: Exchgupg.inf, Exchng32.exe, Readme.txt, Mapi.dll, Mapi32.dll,
  Msfs32.dll, Wgpoadmn.dll, and Wmsui32.dll.
