CC:Mail Mobile

[Robert White]

I need to get my CC:mail from my MAC at home to the DOS/Windows system at work.

1. Does CC:Mail Mobile for MAC work very well?

2. Where Can I find it? (It doesn't appear in Mac mail order catalogs)

Thanks!

Yes, it seems okay if you've got a decent modem.
It's an offline composer/reader that just connects with the base PO for
transfers. The only hassle is having to maintain an up to date copy of the
directory on every remote machine.

Try wherever you got your cc:Mail system from or you could try calling Lotus
directly. They should be able to give you a list of suppliers.

I've now installed CC:Mobile for Mac. It works real to retrieve my mail,
however the directory updates are giving me a problem.

I exported my work directory using "export /Nxxxx /Pxxx /DM:ccdata @
ccmuodat directory/PROP" then mailed it to myself. This should have
updated my directory when I retrieved my mail. No such luck! I do have
ADE.

Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions? I can't type the 32,000+ names
in our nationwide directory into the mobile directory.

Lotus and Apple? Hmmmm...

Two things to try:

1] FTP to ftp.ccmail.com, try the Import/Export utility there.

2] When you send yourself an update, make sure the attached file is named
CCMUPDAT, the message's subject is "Automatic Directory Update" (without
quotes), and that you *delete* the text item of the message. Only send
the CCMUPDAT file attachment.

Personally, I prefer method #2, because that's the one I do all the time.

Email me at ATLA...@UCI.EDU I can help any further.

Cheers,
Andrew
