A Macintosh will react in two ways when it is running low on memory
and the Microsoft Mail desk accessory (DA) is chosen from the Apple
menu:
- An error message may appear stating that there is not enough memory
to open Microsoft Mail.
- The Macintosh beeps. Under severe low-memory conditions, Microsoft
Mail only beeps instead of giving a dialog box that states the
problem.
Both conditions require some memory to be freed up on the Macintosh,
either by closing windows or applications; removing unnecessary fonts,
DAs, and INITs; or turning off the RAM Cache in the Control Panel.
A possible workaround, if running under MultiFinder, is to hold down
the OPTION key and select the Mail DA. This opens Mail in the
application memory of the current application.
Another reason for the Macintosh to just beep when a desk accessory is
selected is if the DA Handler file is not present in the System Folder
when running under MultiFinder.
