SUMMARY
=======

There are two main consequences of not having an MBG file: the user is not able
to read existing mail in the file and the file does not accept mail from other
programs.

When a Microsoft Mail client attempts to load the MBG file and it is not
available, the following error message is displayed:

  Error in mail header retrieval

The program will still function; however, the user will not be able to read his
or her mail messages.

Similarly, when another user attempts to send mail to that user ID, the following
message will appear:

  ERROR MAILING TO MAILBAG:

  Mailbag: 00000000
  Address: NETWORK/POSTOFFICE/Admin

  Press any key to continue...

MORE INFORMATION
================

The error messages will continue to be displayed until a valid MBG file is made
available. This usually involves restoring the file from a backup or freeing it
for use if it was locked open by another application or workstation.
