SUMMARY
The Workgroup Message Handler for Lotus cc:Mail or Microsoft Mail for Windows NT is available from Microsoft Technical Support.

If you want to use cc:Mail or Mail for Windows NT to send, open, or read messages in Microsoft Project, you need to install the Microsoft Project version 4.0 Workgroup Message Handler. You must install the Workgroup Message Handler regardless of whether you are a project manager or a resource: project managers need it to open resource responses in Microsoft Project, and resources need it to respond to workgroup messages sent from Microsoft Project. If you are using cc:Mail, after you install the message handler, follow the instructions in this article to modify the way Microsoft Project is set up.

NOTE: The Workgroup Message Handler works only with cc:Mail or Mail for Windows NT.

 * 3) In the File Name box, type  :\setup.mpp and press ENTER, where is where you expanded Wp1060.exe.

TIPS FOR USING WORKGROUP MESSAGE HANDLER AND CC:MAIL OR MAIL FOR WINDOWS NT

 * Verify that the directory containing cc:Mail appears in the PATH environment variable in your Autoexec.bat file, so that Microsoft Project can find your mail system.
 * If you are using the Windows NT Mail client and the Send and Add Routing Slip commands on the File menu are unavailable (dimmed), add the line MAPI=1 to the [Mail] section of your Win.ini file.
 * If you share the computer on which you run cc:Mail with another person who runs cc:Mail from a different account, be sure to close the Open Mail Session program when you quit cc:Mail.
 * This version of the Workgroup Message Handler will not work with the 16-bit version of Microsoft Mail. If you want to use the message handler included with Microsoft Project version 4.0, run Wgsetup.exe from Setup Disk 1 of the Microsoft Project version 4.0 Setup disks.
 * Microsoft Schedule+ workgroup features will not work with cc:Mail or Mail for Windows NT.
 * When you install the Workgroup Message Handler, the Setup program changes the Standard menu and the Workgroup toolbar. The original versions are saved as the Old Standard menu and the Old Workgroup toolbar, respectively.
