SUMMARY

Individual users cannot create their own post office accounts in Microsoft Exchange in Windows 95.

MORE INFORMATION

When you create a Microsoft Exchange profile that includes Microsoft Mail, you are prompted for a path to the post office. A list of user accounts for that post office is then displayed. If your account is not displayed, you must contact the post office administrator to have an account created.

Note that this behavior is different from that of the Microsoft Mail client included with Windows for Workgroups. In Microsoft Mail in Windows for Workgroups, you can set up your own post office account.

Windows 95 post offices are created and managed using the Microsoft Workgroup Postoffice Admin tool included with Windows 95. To use this tool, double-click the Microsoft Mail Postoffice icon in Control Panel.
