³ Upgrading to EEMail 3.34 ³
ÀÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ
EEMail 3.34 takes a different approach to the user (bindery) information
from the network. Previous to 3.34, EEMail read the user information
into memory, then removed the excluded users from the list. This meant
that on larger networks, significant memory was being used to contain
this information, and the program took longer to load.
EEMail 3.34 is now much faster to load and requires less memory! ADMIN
is quite a bit different and requires that you create a database
of users and groups.
To upgrade your copy of EEMAIL, perform the steps below. Make sure your
users are not accessing the program before performing these steps! If
they are, the .OVL file will not be copied in step 12.
If you are upgrading from any version prior to 3.00, please contact us
for specific instructions.
1 UnZIP the program files to a local disk. For example:
c:
md\temp
cd\temp
pkunzip c:\files\eemail.zip (or wherever the ZIP file resides)
2 COPY ADMIN.EXE m: (replace "m:" with your existing EEMAIL directory)
3 ATTACH to all servers on your network as a SUPERVISOR or equivalent.
ie: ATTACH SERVER2/SUPERVISOR

6 Select "Maintain User/Group List", then "Import From Bindery."
7 The names of the attached servers display. You can then type the
server's mail name for each of the attached servers. If you
are not running MHS, accept the default physical server name as
the servers' mail name. If you are running MHS, type the name
of the MHS workgroup route in this field if different than the
physical server name.
8 When finished entering the server names, pressing
last field displays a "Yes/No" confirmation box. Choosing "Yes"
will begin the procedure. When complete, you are returned to the
ADMIN main menu.

then select "Edit User List." The User/Group List database is
displayed.

EEMail users.

ensure a mailbox exists. It will not affect existing users' data
files.

EEMAIL program directory.
13 FLAG *.* SRW to set the proper file attribute.
14 Run the new EEMAIL program. Select "Create Mail" then press
15 You can now delete the old User/Group Exclude list from the
EEMAIL program directory:
DEL EXCLUDE.*
You are now finished upgrading the EEMAIL program!
Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
