This article was previously published under Q111795

SUMMARY

Version 3.1d of Mail for AppleTalk Networks contains the following enhancements:

  1. A new Out of Office feature that automatically replies to or forwards any mail sent to a user while that user is away. This feature does not require that the user's workstation be left running.

    The Out of Office server is HyperCard SDK based and requires HyperCard 2.1 or later.
  2. The ability to move users and their related information, including Microsoft Schedule+ data, more easily to other servers. Moving users also updates system-defined groups on servers that are available on the network at the time of the move.
  3. An enhanced rebuild utility for the Mail Data file. This rebuild attempts to retain Gateway, Routing, and Custom Form information.
  4. The ability to create users and gateway account recipients from text files using the Mail Network Administrator program.
  5. A more accurate reflection of the minimum amount of memory your server needs.
  6. The ability to reset server statistics for an entire site with one command.
  7. The ability to initiate a network scan on command and view the status.
  8. The ability to view queued messages by date or size, and return queued messages to their senders.
  9. The ability to reset local mail file passwords without rebuilding the Local Data File.
  10. The ability for the network administrator to receive notification of the existence of new servers.
  11. Resizable Note and 80-Column forms for all users.
