In Microsoft Mail, the error message "Unknown name" or "Incorrect
Password" is displayed during the automatic sign-in if one of the
following is true:
� | The Network Manager or the user changed the name or password. In
this case, the automatic sign-in routines still have the old name
or password recorded. For Mail to enter the new name or password,
the user must update the name/password information in the Mail
Sign-In Preferences window.
|
� | The user switched servers during the previous session. To connect to
the correct server, cancel the auto sign-in and reselect the server
you are trying to connect to. |

If a user uses the automatic sign-in feature of Mail, choosing a
different server during the same session overwrites the server name
and network zone recorded in the auto sign-in routines.
For example, a user has two accounts on two different servers: on
SERVER-A, the account name is "Joe Doe"; on SERVER-B, the account name
is "Mr Doe".
The user automatically signs in on SERVER-A (as Joe Doe). He checks
his mailbox and then decides to sign in on SERVER-B (as Mr Doe). If he
restarts the Macintosh now, the Mail auto sign-in procedure will
display the error message "Unknown name." The name used in the auto
sign-in is still "Joe Doe"; however, the server is now SERVER-B, which
is the last server the user was connected to.
