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

The ATTIMP.EXE utility imports mail folders created by the AT&T Access
Plus products to the Mail message file (MMF) used by Microsoft Mail
Remote for Windows. You should use this utility only with the AT&T
Mail driver. If you try to use it with any other driver, you will
receive the following error:

   You are not using the AT&T Mail driver. Use the Mail System
   Selector to select AT&T Mail as the current driver and try again.

For more information about using the Mail System Selector, see the
Microsoft Mail Remote for Windows "User's Guide."

To Install Your ATTIMP.EXE File
-------------------------------

1. Insert the enclosed WA0873 disk in your floppy disk drive.

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

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

   where <drive> is the floppy disk drive containing the WA0873 disk
   and <destination> is the drive and directory where your ATTIMP.EXE
   file currently resides. For example, if you want to copy ATTIMP.EXE
   to the MSMAIL directory on drive C and the WA0873 disk is in drive
   A, type the following command:

      copy a:\attimp.exe c:\msmail

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

3. In the Windows Program Manager, create an AT&T Folder Conversion
   icon with the following properties:

	-------------------------------------------------
	|            Program Item Properties		|
	-------------------------------------------------
	|  Description		AT&T Folder Conversion	|
	|						|
	|  Command Line:	C:\MSMAIL\ATTIMP.EXE	|
	|						|
	|  Working Directory:				|
	|						|
	|  Shortcut Key:	None			|
	|						|
	-------------------------------------------------

4. Before you run ATTIMP.EXE, use the Microsoft Mail Selector to make
   sure that the AT&T driver is the current mail driver and that the
   Access Plus OUT folder is empty.

5. To run ATTIMP.EXE, double-click the AT&T Folder Conversion icon
   created in step 3.

6. The ATTIMP.EXE utility will first prompt for the path to the Access
   Plus File Cabinet. It expects to find a directory that contains IN,
   OUT, and SESSION subdirectories. Except for the IN and WASTE
   folders, a folder with the same name as the Access Plus folder will
   be created at the topmost level of the private folders in the MMF.
   Messages will then be imported to the corresponding folders (these
   messages are AT&T messages of type MSU, MSG, MSS, MSR, and MSQ). If
   a folder with the same name already exists, Access Plus messages
   will be added to it. The WASTE folder will not be imported and
   messages in the IN folder will be imported into the Inbox folder.
    
  NOTES:
    
   - This utility does not import address directories, nor does it
     change the personal address book (PAB).
   
   - If you run the utility twice on the same messages, duplicate
     messages will be imported.
