PC WRmt: Can't Start Mail Remote Automatically w/ AT&T Driver

SUMMARY

Page 17 of the Microsoft Mail Remote for Windows "User's Guide" lists the procedure to start Mail Remote automatically by including the mailbox name and password in the Program Item Properties command line. For example:

   c:\msmail\msmail.exe johndoe password
				

If you start Mail Remote with the AT&T Mail driver selected as the active transport, the above command does not work as expected. The mailbox information is passed on, but you are still prompted for the password even though it is supplied on the command line.
