Mac Wkst: Invoking System Information Window (105179)

SUMMARY

The System Information window for versions 3.0 and 3.1 of Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks is invoked by holding down the Command, Option, and ? keys while logged into mail. The Command+Option+? keystroke will display a window with information similar to the following:

              3.1 System Information

    Desk Accessory:
       Version Number              31001

    Device Driver:
       Version Number              31001
       Serial Number        00-067-0311-00000000

    Mail Server:
       Version Number              3100
       Serial Number               46100544

    Server Name:
       Marketing
				

This information can be helpful when troubleshooting problems stemming from mismatched workstation and server mail versions. The above example shows that the Microsoft Mail desk accessory and MS Mail chooser extension are both version 3.1a. The user is currently logged into a version 3.1 mail server called "Marketing". If the user had been using version 3.0 workstation software, the version number would have been 3000X where X=0 implies that it is version 3.0 and X=1 implies that it is version 3.0a.
