The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Internet Mail and News 1.0 for Windows 95
  • Microsoft Internet Mail and News 1.0 for Windows NT 4.0

This article was previously published under Q175522

SYMPTOMS

When you run Internet Mail and News for the first time, you may experience one or more of the following symptoms after you are prompted to select the folder in which you want your local message store to be created:

  • The message store may not be created in the selected folder, regardless of whether you leave the default folder selected or select a different folder. For example, the default folder for Internet Mail and News for Windows 95 is the Program Files folder. If you leave the default folder selected, the message store is actually created in the Program Files\Outlook Express\<username> folder, where <username> is the user name you use to log on to Windows.
  • If you click Cancel when you are prompted to select a folder, you may not be prompted to select a folder the next time you start Internet Mail and News.

STATUS

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
