CAUSE
A cc:Mail postoffice password length of four characters causes Team Manager and Team Manager for team members to stop responding after accepting the password or after attempting to authenticate a name from the cc:Mail address book.
This problem occurs with any 16-bit cc:Mail client such as cc:Mail 2.x, cc:Mobile 2.x and cc:Mail 6.0.
WORKAROUND
Change your cc:Mail password to between one and ten characters, but not four characters. You can do this from within cc:Mail by doing the following:
- On the Tools menu, Click User Setup.
- Click the Password Preference icon.
- Enter your old password and then enter a new password that is not four characters in length.
- Enter the new password in the the New Password Again field. Click OK.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Team Manager 97. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
