The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks 3.0
This article was previously published under Q96417

SUMMARY

The Microsoft Mail Gateway (GW) chooser extension version 3.0x is incompatible with the Cache Switch Control Panel found on Apple Macintosh Quadra machines.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 3.0 of Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks. This problem was corrected in version 3.1.

If a gateway is to be used on a Quadra, the Cache Switch CDEV must be disabled.

MORE INFORMATION

The MS Mail GW extension is used for communication between the Microsoft Mail server and a gateway. If MS Mail GW is loaded and the cache switch is enabled, the machine will stop operating on startup. The cache switch turns on the 8K copy-back caching scheme used on Quadra machines.
