SUMMARY
=======
If you have many headers in your mailbox, the connection between version 3.2 of
Microsoft Mail Remote for Windows and your postoffice may time out while
EXTERNAL.EXE (running at the office from Microsoft Mail for PC Networks)
prepares to transmit the headers list.
To increase the time-out limit for Mail Remote for Windows, first confirm that
Mail Remote is the current driver.
Then increase the value for ConnectTimeOut in the [SFSREMOTE] section of your
MSMAIL.INI file, located in the WINDOWS directory.
This value can be between 60 (the default value) and 999, and represents the
number of seconds Mail Remote for Windows will wait before reporting a time-out
error.
Contact your mail administrator if problems continue; they might need to adjust a
command-line parameter for EXTERNAL.EXE running on your postoffice, setting a -e
value to match the number you set for ConnectTimeOut.
