To prepare for moving a workgroup postoffice (WGPO)
 Pick a time when all users are off of Mail (usually after normal working hours) to move the WGPO. Ask users to do the following:

 Update their mailboxes by choosing New Messages from the View menu. Choose Exit And Sign Out from the File menu before a specified time or before they leave for the day.  Create a shared directory for the postoffice. Different networks use different commands for setting up a server. If you are moving the WGPO to another computer on a Windows for Workgroups network, use the File Manager to create the directory, and use the Share As command from the Disk menu to share the directory.

To move a workgroup postoffice

 * 1) Open the File Manager and select the WGPO directory.
 * 2) From the File menu, choose Move. Move the WGPO directory by using the Windows File Manager. Do not use the MS-DOS COPY or XCOPY commands; these MS-DOS commands do not copy hidden files that need to be moved with the postoffice.
 * 3) In the &quot;To:&quot; box, type the new path for the postoffice. Remember this path; you will use it when you run the Extend program.
 * 4) Choose the OK button.
