PC WRmt: Possible Results of Missing or Invalid ACCESS4.GLB

SYMPTOMS

When you start version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail Remote for Windows, your sign-in is validated against the ACCESS4.GLB file in your <WINDOWS>\MSMAIL\MSRMT\GLB directory. As a result, you may experience one of the following situations:

• If ACCESS4.GLB is invalid, you can get various modes of operation or non-operation, including a general protection fault (GP-Fault).
• If ACCESS4.GLB is missing, you can sign in, but you will get the following message before Mail aborts:
  Mail cannot connect to your mail server

In both cases, no message indicates problems with the ACCESS4.GLB or that it is missing; however once identified, the workaround is easy.
