The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange MS-DOS client 4.0
- Microsoft Exchange MS-DOS client 5.0
This article was previously published under Q176725 SYMPTOMS
You can read messages in the Microsoft Exchange MS-DOS Client, but when you
attempt to send, forward, or reply, the following error message might be
displayed:
The message could not be sent.
You need more memory to perform this operation.
Close some windows and try again.
Microsoft Exchange for MS-DOS
ID No: 5803 - 5001
CAUSE
This message can occur when the Microsoft Exchange Server fails to return
required addressing information. In a very large organization with many
address types, the address type information can exceed the RPC buffer
space. The failure is returned to the Exchange MS-DOS Client as a lack of
memory and results in the message shown above.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Exchange
MS-DOS client, versions 4.0 and 5.0. A supported fix is now available, but
has not been fully regression-tested and should be applied only to systems
experiencing this specific problem. Unless you are severely impacted by
this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next
Service Pack that contains this fix. Contact Microsoft Technical Support
for more information.
MORE INFORMATION
The corrected MS-DOS Client has a larger RPC buffer and is able to retrieve
all of the information needed to complete the send, forward, or reply.
