PC Win: Folder Names Limited to 127 Characters (103448)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail for Windows 3.0
- Microsoft Mail for Windows 3.0b
- Microsoft Mail for Windows 3.2
This article was previously published under Q103448 SYMPTOMS
When you create a new folder in version 3.0, 3.0b, or 3.2 of Microsoft
Mail for Windows, the following error may occur:
This name or comment is too long. Type a shorter name or comment.
CAUSE
Mail for Windows allows a maximum folder name of 127 characters. The new
folder's Name field does not prevent you from typing names longer than
127 characters, but Mail displays the error message when you choose OK.
RESOLUTION
Devise a folder name of 127 or fewer characters and choose OK to create
the folder.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in versions 3.0, 3.0b, and
3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows. We are researching this problem and
will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
becomes available.
