SUMMARY
When you use Windows version 3.1 for Workgroups to create a workgroup postoffice, Windows for Workgroups uses the values you assign to your computer name and workgroup for your postoffice name and network name. Some characters that are valid in the computer name and workgroup boxes are not valid for the Postoffice and Network name fields in upgrading to the version 3.0 Microsoft Mail for PC Networks postoffice. If you use an invalid character, you are prompted to enter a new name for the corresponding field. Note that in this case, your mail addresses will be invalidated. The invalid characters are:

~ ` ! @ # $ % ^ & * _ - + = { [ } ] | \ : ; &quot; ' <, >. ? /

You should not change your computer name and workgroup name as part of the upgrade procedure, as this will invalidate all mail addresses using the old names. However, you can make this change by selecting Password from the Configure menu in ADMIN.EXE.
