MACINTOSH

Summary:

When using Microsoft Mail and the Macintosh Portable, the Macintosh may bomb on start-up. This bomb occurs about 50 percent of the time on start-up when the Macintosh is not connected to the network and it is running from its battery. To work around this problem, hold down the “M” key while the Portable is starting up.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Mail versions 2.00, 2.00a, and 2.00b. This problem was corrected in Mail version 3.00.
