PC Win: Select All Does Not Highlight Any Messages (93567)



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 Q93567

SYMPTOMS

Choosing Select All from the Edit menu sometimes fails in folders that contain a large number of messages.

CAUSE

The Select All function attempts to select as many messages as possible within a 15-second time limit, and aborts the attempt if all messages are not selected in 15 seconds.

RESOLUTION

The amount of available memory and the computer's processing speed both affect Select All; it may be successful if you can remove concurrently loaded applications or use a faster computer.

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.
