SYMPTOMS
Version 3.0b of Microsoft Mail for Windows does not correctly import or export a folder with an extended character (such as the letter O with an umlaut) in the filename. The folder appears to be saved correctly, but the filename is not converted properly.



CAUSE
The function responsible for converting extended characters does not convert from CP850 (the MS-DOS code page for multi-lingual keyboard sets) to ANSI. As a result, the extended characters are lost.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in version 3.0b of Microsoft Mail for Windows. This problem was corrected in version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows.
