Mac DOS: Err Msg: Low on memory. Unable to Complete Operation. (131076)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks, MS-DOS workstation 3.0
  • Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks, MS-DOS workstation 3.1

This article was previously published under Q131076

SYMPTOMS

When you address a message in versions 3.0 and later of Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks, MS-DOS workstation, the following error may occur:
Low on memory. Unable to complete the operation. Please close some windows.
You can choose OK to continue addressing the mail.

CAUSE

This error occurs when you choose the Network address list and double-click the Mail network you are currently logged into. The error only occurs if there are no other postoffices with that network name.

RESOLUTION

One method to resolve the problem is to address mail to recipients on the same postoffice via the Postoffice or Global address lists.

An additional workaround is to add another postoffice to the same network that is currently being used. However, the address list will still not be available under Network; the mail will need to be addressed from another address list.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in versions 3.0 and later of Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks, MS-DOS workstation. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
