The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Mail for PC Networks 3.0

This article was previously published under Q97652

SUMMARY

Novell Message Handling Service (MHS) has three message priority levels, which the Microsoft Mail Gateway to MHS maps as logically as possible to its own priority levels.

Here are the priorities and what they are mapped to:

MS-DOS Client

1 - Low
2 - Medium
3 - Medium
4 - Medium
5 - High
R - High

Windows Client

Low - Low
Normal - Medium
High - High

Messages with return receipts are classified as high priority, even though within Microsoft Mail a return receipt does not affect priority.

NOTE: There may be interoperability problems when some other systems map priorities to MHS. Messages received with unknown priority are mapped to the medium priority.
