Windows2000 and Microsoft Mail Postoffice
With the previous versions of
Windows (95,98, NT4), Microsoft supplied the possibility to
create a "Microsoft
Postoffice" for a small company e-mail system.
Windows 2000 does NOT include anymore this feature
(I think, that MS assumes that
everybody either uses now the MS Exchange Server or a POP3 e-mail
system
based on the new Internet standard )
However: if you have such an e-mail system on an NT4-system and
you like to upgrade to
Windows2000, you can continue to use the MS-Mail Post-office.

|===========================================
 |
To be able to identify the files
without
any doubt, I configure Windows Explorer
in the Folder Options, tab View
to
"Display the full path in the address bar"
and NOT to
"Hide file Extensions for known file types" |
Since Windows2000 does NOT include anymore the feature to
create/administer the
"MS Mail Postoffice", you
need to copy the files from the Windows NT4 installation CD-ROM:
 |
In the directory "I386"
on the
NT4 installation CD-ROM,
locate the files:
- WGPOADMN.DL_
- WGPOCPL.CP_
and copy them to the
SYSTEM32-directory of your
Windows system. |
Then open a Command-Prompt
Windows, switch to the SYSTEM32 directory:
- CD WINNT\SYSTEM32
and expand the files copied from the NT4 CD-ROM:
- expand wgpoadmn.dl_ wgpoadmn.dll
- expand wgpocpl.cp_ wgpocpl.cpl

You have now access in your Control-Panel to the applet for
"Microsoft Mail Postoffice":

you can now create/administer
a Microsoft Mail Postoffice.
