SUMMARY

When you start Schedule Plus without creating or connecting to an existing Workgroup Postoffice, you may receive the following error message:

   Mail could not connect to your Mail server. The configuration
   for the Mail server path is missing or invalid.

If you want to use Schedule Plus locally (off-line) without receiving the above error message, you must modify the Windows NT Registry.
