SUMMARY
Microsoft provides a replacement for the MAILMGR.DLL file that is included with version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows.

For complete information about obtaining and installing the MAILMGR.DLL file, see the following sections:


 * To download the updated file
 * To update your MAILMGR.DLL file



MORE INFORMATION
This update contains MAILMGR.DLL, a replacement for the MAILMGR.DLL file that is included with version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows. The replacement file provides additional enhancements to the original MAILMGR.DLL file.

This replacement file resolves the following problem that can occur when you use version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows:


 * The Check Names function fails to properly resolve partial friendly names and returns several selections when a unique resolution is possible. This behavior is most obvious when the GAL is selected as the default address list and the first and last name of the intended recipient begin with the same letter.

NOTE: To resolve this problem, two .DLL files must be updated: the MAILMGR.DLL file (update included in this update) and the MSSFS.DLL file (update included in MSSFS.EXE on the MSL).

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

copy :\mailmgr.dll

where is the drive and directory where you ran the self extracting MAILMGR.EXE file and is the drive and directory where your MAILMGR.DLL file currently resides.

copy d:\test\mailmgr.dll c:\mailexe

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

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