Err Msg: MSMAIL Caused a GP Fault in Module MSSFS.DLL (126706)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11
This article was previously published under Q126706 SYMPTOMS
When you set up Windows for Workgroups to use Novell NetWare (workstation
shell version 3.x and higher) as the primary network, you receive the
following error message in Microsoft Mail when you use the Remember
Password option when you change your password:
Application Error: MSMAIL caused a General Protection Fault in Module
MSSFS.DLL at 001A:032D
Your only choice is to close Mail. Note that when this error occurs, your
password is changed but the new password is not cached.
CAUSE
Mail uses the Windows for Workgroups password list file (called
<username>.PWL) to cache the Mail password. When you use Novell NetWare
(workstation shell version 3.x and higer) as the primary network in Windows
for Workgroups, a password list file is neither used nor created. The error
occurs when Mail tries to cache the password but a password list file does
not exist.
RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, add the following line to the [Microsoft
Mail] section of the MSMAIL.INI file:
Password=<your Mail password>
Substitute your Mail password for <your Mail password> in the line above.
