SUMMARY
In Microsoft Mail, if the MSMailBackup CDEV (Control Panel device) does not load at start-up, no backup of the Microsoft Mail data file will be created and no mail messages will be sent regarding the success of the backup.

To check if MSMailBackup is being loaded, restart the Apple Macintosh. If the MSMailBackup start-up icon is not shown while the Macintosh is restarting, or if it appears crossed out with an &quot;X&quot;, MSMailBackup was unable to load successfully.

Known situations that prevent MSMailBackup from loading are as follows:
 * MSMailBackup is not located in the System Folder.
 * The &quot;Microsoft Mail Server&quot; file is not located in the System Folder.
 * The Microsoft Mail server name has been changed. (For example, a space may have been placed before the name.)



MORE INFORMATION
The MSMailBackup utility looks in the System Folder for a file named &quot;Microsoft Mail Server&quot;. If it doesn't find this file, MSMailBackup crosses out its icon at start-up time.
