The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Mail Remote for Windows, version 3.2

SYMPTOMS

When you use version 3.2 of Microsoft Mail Remote for Windows, you may receive the following error:

   Postoffice has not accepted mail item

The error on the IBM-compatible running EXTERNAL.EXE is:

   Caller: Sign-on ID or password incorrect.

CAUSE

It is possible that EXTERNAL has a DrivesWAN connection to the remote user's home postoffice (PO).

RESOLUTION

Postoffices connected using the DrivesWAN option are send-only postoffices. You must remove the DrivesWAN option or set up another EXTERNAL to handle the remote users for that PO.
