SYMPTOMS

In version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, the following error message may appear when you try to run the MOVEUSER.EXE utility to move a user from one postoffice to another.

Moving user '<UserName>' failed.

CAUSE

One possible cause of this error is a missing or renamed Mail message file (MMF). The MOVEUSER utility extracts the location information for the placement of the MMF (either local or server). To successfully run MOVEUSER, the MMF must be defined with the location of "server."

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, copy or restore the user's MMF to the MMF subdirectory of the Mail database.
