SYMPTOMS
When you use versions 3.2 and 3.2a of Microsoft Mail for Windows, and you have a large mail message file (MMF), the program may terminate with a message indicating that there is not enough free hard drive space available.



WORKAROUND
The following alternatives may be used:

Method 1

 * Export mail from the MMF to an export file. (This will move mail out of the MMF and into an export file that may reside on another drive.)
 * Rename the old MMF, then create a new one.
 * Import mail back into the new MMF.

Method 2
Compress the MMF (Hold the F5 key down when you launch Mail). This may reduce the MMF to a more manageable size.

Method 3
Delete unnecessary mail to reduce the size of the MMF file.
