This article was previously published under Q126789

SYMPTOMS

When messages with attachments are received through the MHS Gateway, the following error may occur:
Outpost: Could not create Microsoft Mail mail item
Outpost: General file I/O error

CAUSE

This error message occurs when there is a problem with the subdirectories under MAILDATA\ATT.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, check the following:
  1. Rights of ATT subdirectories. This should be read/write, and the subdirectories should not be marked as hidden.
  2. Check to make sure all 16 subdirectories exist under the ATT subdirectory (AT0-AT9 and ATA-ATF). If any of these subdirectories does not exist, create it by using the MS-DOS MKDIR command or by choosing the File Manager Create Directory command.
