PC WRmt: Cannot Switch Tasks While Mail Waits for Retry Count (97075)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Mail Remote for Windows 3.2
This article was previously published under Q97075

SYMPTOMS

While Microsoft Mail Remote version 3.2 for Windows waits for the Retry Delay after it fails to connect to a valid modem line, you cannot activate another application or process.

CAUSE

This behavior reflects a design constraint of the product. Mail Remote for Windows does not support switching tasks while the modem session is active. While Mail delays before sending another command to the modem, it is considered an active modem session.
