SYMPTOMS

When using a backup of your Mail Message File (MMF) in version 3.0, 3.0b, or 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows, you sometimes can compose a message but cannot transmit it to the postoffice. The sent message just sits in your outbox.

CAUSE

Make your backup MMF file your primary MMF file. Microsoft Mail will then send the message.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in versions 3.0, 3.0b, and 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
