Hi Michael,
I took another look around at ftp.microsoft.com and couldn't find the 3.5
tools either. I think your WGPO should be vers. 3.5 but maybe the 3.2 tool
will also work (of course you should always backup your WGPO before you try
something). I'm almost sure the PODiag and stuff I used came with the latest
MS Mail Client for DOS ...
Is the link to the 3.2 files working? Shabby from M$, isn't it?
Good luck :)

Thanks for your help. I cannot find any trace of the tools for version 3.5
databases. As you noted earlier, Q125245 links to the diagnostics tool for
3.2 databases. Do you have any idea what version of the database was used
with Win95/NT 4.0?

That's it, Sir! Microsoft Mail as the product was named, consists of a
folder structure, the "database", on any network share. This database is
called Workgroup Post Office (WGPO). The MS Mail client fetches messages
from the structure and publishes outgoing mail into the folders. Quite a
simple construction, and easy to corrupt or compromise ...
The WGPO Administrator as included in NT4's and W95's control panel is used
to administer the Post Office's users.
I used to have a comprehensive set of tools to administer my WGPO, e.g. move
users, watch mailbox sizes, check and defragment the structure, but I left
it at the company I worked for then :( I ran the WGPO built in NT4SP3 and
used PODiag and the other tools for MS Mail 3.5 - they worked fine.
So I think we're talking about the same and please let me know where the
proper utilities are on the MS site if you find it out ...
Regards,
Nico Schulze

Just to make sure that we are both taLking about the same thing, the mail
product that I am using is that which comes native with Win95 and NT 4.0.
This is strictly a peer-to-peer mail service - not a "mail server
application" in any sense. As I recall, MS made a pre-Exchange mail server
application. Are these tools for this application?

Hi Michael,
Microsoft has the Post Office Diagnostics Tool (Q125245 for Vs2-3.2 or
Q134753 for V3.5) to check (and fix) MS Mail Databases. I don't remember
where to download the V3.5 utility but I had found it once somewhere at
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/mail.
