Introduction
------------

The disk provided with this application note contains CONVERT.EXE, a
replacement for the CONVERT.EXE file that is included with versions
3.0, 3.0a, 3.0b, and 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows. The
replacement file provides additional enhancements to the original
CONVERT.EXE file, resolving the following problem that can occur when
converting Mail version 2.1x folders to Mail version 3.0 using the
Microsoft Mail Conversion Program version 3.0:

 - While converting your folders, CONVERT.EXE may report a network
   error and then exit. The original version of the CONVERT.EXE
   program assumes the owner field in the .IDX file is in all
   uppercase letters and doesn't know how to handle hexadecimal
   numbers in lowercase letters.

To Replace Your CONVERT.EXE File
--------------------------------

1. Insert the enclosed WA0724 disk in your floppy disk drive.

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

      copy <drive>:\convert.exe <destination>

   where <drive> is the floppy disk drive containing the WA0724 disk
   and <destination> is the drive and directory where your CONVERT.EXE
   file currently resides. For example, if CONVERT.EXE is located in
   the MAILEXE directory on drive C and the WA0724 disk is in drive A,
   type the following command:

      copy a:\convert.exe c:\mailexe

   A message will be displayed stating: "1 file(s) copied." This
   indicates that your CONVERT.EXE file has been successfully
   replaced.

    NOTE: For this change to affect the entire network, each existing
    user must run Setup again.
