Mac Wkst: Using Mail Notifier and Novell NetWare 4.1 (128958)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks 3.0, when used with:
- the operating system: MS-DOS
This article was previously published under Q128958 SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to use the Microsoft Mail Notifier extension included with
Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Network, MS-DOS workstation, you may receive
the following error message:
The control panel Microsoft Mail Notifier cannot be used with
this Macintosh.
CAUSE
This error will occur if the Microsoft Mail for PC Networks postoffice you
are connecting to is on a Novell NetWare version 4.1 server using the
Netware Directory Services (NDS) for authentication.
The problem occurs because the Microsoft Mail Notifier requires that the
network drive be mounted on the Macintosh's desktop on startup. However,
NetWare 4.1 using NDS will not allow the network drive to be mounted.
NOTE: Notifier works fine when using Novell NetWare 4.1 and Bindery
Emulation.
