SYMPTOMS
When you choose the Send Mail item from the Mail menu under the Microsoft Windows NT File Manager, you may receive the following error:

Mail could not connect to your Mail server.

The configuration for the Mail server path is missing or invalid.



STATUS
Microsoft Exchange does not support the File Manager’s Send Mail option 4.0. This is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
On a Windows NT computer that has never had a MSMail 3.x client installed, the Microsoft Exchange Client Setup doesn't add a Send Mail option to File Manager.

On a Windows NT computer that has previously had a MSMail 3.x client installed, the Send Mail option may already exist. If it is run, it may attempt to start and sign into a MSMail 3.x server.



RESOLUTION
To remove the Send Mail menu item, remove the following entry from the registry:

 HKey_LocalMachine_LocalMachine Software Microsoft WinNT CurrentVer Filemanager AddOns Mail File Manager Extension: REG_SZ:SendFl32.dll

Next log off, and then log back on, to Windows NT for the change to take effect.
