SYMPTOMS
When you create a new postoffice in the Microsoft Mail Connector
to connect
an Exchange Server computer to a Microsoft Mail 3.x postoffice on
a Novell server, you may receive the following error message:
The network name could not be found
CAUSE
The postoffice path specified is incorrect.
RESOLUTION
Verify that postoffice path for connecting to the Novell volume is
valid
and does not use a colon (:) to separate the volume from the
server name.
If you specify a colon (:) instead of a backslash (\) you may
receive an error.
Incorrect: server:volume:maildata
To resolve this, replace the colon with a backslash to specify the
proper
postoffice path.
Correct: \\server\volume\maildata
