SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Mail, on the server Macintosh, if the workstation software has been renamed so it loads before the &quot;Microsoft Mail Server&quot; server software, the automatic sign-in feature will not work.



CAUSE
To allow automatic sign-in to work, the server software must load before the workstation attempts to automatically sign in. The Mail 3.0 and 3.1 workstation software is named &quot;MS Mail.&quot; On the Macintosh, memory-resident software (such as Microsoft Mail) loads alphabetically. If you view the System Folder by name, you can tell if the workstation software has been loaded before the server software.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, rename the workstation software so it falls alphabetically after the server software, then restart your Macintosh.



MORE INFORMATION
This situation can also arise when you use the Microsoft Mail server as an application. Because applications always load after INITs/Extensions, the Mail server will never be available for login when the workstation is loading. Automatic Login is not possible when you are running the Mail server as an application.
