The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Mail for Windows, versions 3.0, 3.0b, 3.2 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you run version 3.0, 3.0b, or 3.2 of Microsoft Mail for Windows on version
5.0 of PC-NFS, you will encounter problems if you have the Mail message file
(MMF) on the PC-NFS server. Some of the problems include:

- Problems sending and receiving new messages

- Problems moving the MMF locally

CAUSE
=====

PC-NFS 5.0 has problems performing a short write to a large file.

RESOLUTION
==========

Sun Microsystems has produced a patch to correct this problem. To obtain the
patch, call Sun at (800) 872-4786 [(800) USA-4SUN] and request patch ID
101127-01.

NOTE: Sun will try to e-mail this patch because of its small size. This method
will only work if you receive the e-mail on a UNIX system. If this is not
possible, request the patch on a floppy disk.

In addition, the following are two fixes available for file locks:

1. A new lock D to resolve the file lock issue.

2. A new patch for X-locks (exclusive locks) used by Microsoft Word version 6
  for Windows and Microsoft Excel version 5 for Windows.
