Mac LDF: No Password Assigned When Rebuilding Local Mail File (99002)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks 3.1
This article was previously published under Q99002 SUMMARY
When attempting to rebuild a user's local mail file using the Mail
Tools Utility program from version 3.1 of Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk
Networks, the following message appears:
Rebuilding the local mail files will temporarily remove its
password protection. The rebuilt file will inherit the password of
its first user.
This message indicates that after completing the rebuild of a mail
file, the locally stored mail file has no password. The first user to
sign in to Microsoft mail whose name matches the local mail file will
have his or her password assigned to that local file.
Example:
- Rebuild the user "User X" locally stored mail file using the Mail
Tools Utility program.
- After rebuilding the mail file, rename the local mail file to User
1.
- Sign in to Mail as "User 1" at that workstation.
- The password that was entered during the sign-in process for User
1's mail account will be assigned to the local mail file. User 1 can
now access any of User X's mail that is stored locally.
MORE INFORMATION
It is highly recommended that the Mail Tools Utility program not be
distributed to unauthorized personnel.
