MORE INFORMATION
This update contains the MSMAIL.EXE file, a replacement for the MSMAIL.EXE file that is included with versions 3.0b and 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows. This resolves the following problems:

 When an open custom message is deleted from a shared folder, the message header still appears in the folder. Trying to open the message again results in the error

The message cannot be accessed.

 You cannot do a Reply, Reply All, or Forward on a custom message that is located in a shared folder.

NOTE: For this problem to be resolved, two files must be updated: the MSMAIL.EXE file (included in this update) and the MAPI.DLL file (update included in MAPIUPD.EXE on the MSL). An error is now generated when the ACCESS.GLB file is locked open and a user attempts to change his or her password.

To download the updated file
The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center:

To replace your MSMAIL.EXE file
 At the MS-DOS command prompt, type the following and press ENTER

copy :\msmail.exe

where is the drive and directory where you ran the self- extracting MAILUPD.EXE file and is the drive and directory where your MSMAIL.EXE file currently resides. For example, if you ran the self-extracting file from the TEST directory on drive D, and your MSMAIL.EXE file is located in the MAILEXE directory on drive C, type the following command:

copy d:\test\msmail.exe c:\mailexe

 At the MS-DOS command prompt, type the following and press ENTER

copy \setup.inf \setupinf.old

copy c:\mailexe\setup.inf c:\mailexe\setupinf.old

 Using any text editor, edit the SETUP.INF file. In the [MsMail Prog] section, replace the following line

"00" = 1, msmail.exe,,,, 1993-03-09, !DECOMPRESS,, OLDER, !READONLY,,,,,, 299904,,,, 3.2.0.4027,

with:

"00" = 1, msmail.exe,,,, 1995-04-05, !DECOMPRESS,, OLDER, !READONLY,,,,,, 300560,,,, 3.2.0.4085,

Save the file and close the text editor.

NOTE: For these changes to affect the entire network, each existing user must run Setup again.</li></ol>
