SYMPTOMS
With versions 3.0, 3.0b, and 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows, when you try to implement Inbox Shadowing, the following error message may occur:

Unable to begin inbox shadowing

When you try to move the Mail message file (.MMF) locally, the following error message may occur:

Mail failed to relocate message file

NOTE: For more information about Inbox Shadowing, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

96718 PC Win: Description and Use of Inbox Shadowing



CAUSE
There are two basic causes of these messages:
 * Mail for Windows cannot open, read, or write to the user's ACCESS3.GLB file.
 * The user's data contained in the ACCESS3.GLB file does not match the user name the user is currently logged in as.

As a result, Mail cannot add the messages in the Inbox to the shadowing Add list in the message store.

In addition, a corrupt .MMF can also cause the problem.



RESOLUTION
For more information, please contact Microsoft Product Support Services Monday through Friday, 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, at (206) 635-7022 or (900) 555-2100.
