SUMMARY
This article describes the possible values and meanings of the Status entries displayed by the F2 and F3 screens of versions 2.1, 3.0, and 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks EXTERNAL.EXE program.



MORE INFORMATION
A mail administrator may view information about the postoffice drives the EXTERNAL.EXE program is delivering mail to by pressing either the F2 or F3 function keys during processing. The F2 key displays information about postoffices connected via LAN or WAN drives. The F3 key displays information about postoffices connected via an asynchronous connection.

When one of these keys is pressed, one of the two EXTERNAL.EXE Mail Postoffice Status screens will be displayed. The information displayed is the Network name, the Postoffice name, the Postoffice Serial number, the Postoffice Status, the Postoffice R# (retry number), and the Postoffice Sent, Session, MTD (month to date), and YTD (year to date) values.

The intent of this article is to describe the possible values and meanings associated with the Status entry displayed in either one of the Mail Postoffice Status screens. The following describes the Status values: Value          Meaning

START          Displayed during initialization and before EXTERNAL.EXE reads the MASTER.GLB for that postoffice.

UNINIT         Displayed after START but before the routing information is loaded into EXTERNAL.EXEs memory.

OK             Startup and initialization complete.

ERROR          Displayed after a critical error, unable to connect, etc.

FULL           Displayed after the disk is found to be full.

FAILED         EXTERNAL.EXE has given up on the drive.

NO-REF         The postoffice is defined in the ADMIN.EXE program as an externally defined postoffice, but the EXTERNAL.EXE program does not have this postoffice listed in its drive tables. NOTE: The F2 and F3 screens also show information about each individual postoffice at the bottom of the screen (separated by a line). This information also includes a Status entry. These Status entries are the same as those described in this article.
