SYMPTOMS
When you use versions 3.2 and 3.2a of Microsoft Mail for Windows, and you
have a large mail message file (MMF), the program may terminate with a
message indicating that there is not enough free hard drive space
available.
WORKAROUND
The following alternatives may be used:
Method 1
- Export mail from the MMF to an export file. (This will move mail out
of the MMF and into an export file that may reside on another drive.)
- Rename the old MMF, then create a new one.
- Import mail back into the new MMF.
Method 2
Compress the MMF (Hold the F5 key down when you launch Mail). This
may reduce the MMF to a more manageable size.
Method 3
Delete unnecessary mail to reduce the size of the MMF file.
