Kevin,
Gee, I wonder why we have not heard of a lot of this, now that W2K is more
common?? Makes me wonder if something else (missing/bad registry data) might
be the cause. By now there must be at least a few hundred installs of IMail
on virgin W2K servers and you seem to be the only one with this problem.
Could be a fluke, but I get the feeling that there must be some cause.
Anybody out there who has installed IMail V6 on a new (never had IMail
installed) W2K machine? Did you have this problem?
Daniel Donnelly
