SYMPTOMS
========

When you attempt to send e-mail by using Microsoft Mail, you may receive the
following error message:

  Transport not available.

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and other types of e-mail work correctly.

CAUSE
=====

This problem can occur if the Network/PO option no longer exists (to find this
option, click Services on the Tools menu, click Microsoft Mail, click
Properties, click Delivery, and then click "Address types"). This information is
obtained from the Master.glb file when the file loads.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, restore the Master.glb file from a backup.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, install the postoffice to a temporary location, and
then copy the Master.glb file from the postoffice.
