PC WSPlus Win: Err Msg: Your Message File Could Not Be Located (140686)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Schedule+ 1.0
  • Microsoft Mail for Windows 3.x
This article was previously published under Q140686

SYMPTOMS

When you run Microsoft Mail for Windows, you may get the following error:
Your message file could not be located.
If you select the OK button, Mail for Windows will try to locate a MSMAIL.MMF file. If it does not locate one, you can create a new mail message file (MMF) and continue into Mail. However, the Mail client will be offline with the broken network icon in the lower right corner.

CAUSE

This occurs when you run Schedule+ 1.0 before Mail, and you have the StartupOffline option enabled.

RESOLUTION

Check the SCHDPLUS.INI file and see if it has the following entry: 
   [Microsoft Schedule+]
   STARTUPOFFLINE=1
If the entry is there, disable it by changing the entry to STARTUPOFFLINE=0.
