SYMPTOMS
When you create a new postoffice in the Microsoft Mail Connector to connect an Exchange Server computer to a Microsoft Mail 3.x postoffice on a Novell server, you may receive the following error message:

The network name could not be found



CAUSE
The postoffice path specified is incorrect.



RESOLUTION
Verify that postoffice path for connecting to the Novell volume is valid and does not use a colon to separate the volume from the server name. If you specify a colon instead of a backslash (\) you may receive an error.

Incorrect: server:volume:maildata

To resolve this, replace the colon with a backslash to specify the proper postoffice path.

Correct: \\server\volume\maildata
