Every Microsoft Mail server file has a unique serial number encoded
within it. Mail servers use this serial number to communicate with each
other. Consequently, you can install a particular server file on only
one Macintosh in the network. If you install the same server file on
two Macintoshes at the same time, one of them will automatically be
removed from the network.
The Network Manager or a user can access the server serial number by
signing into the server and pressing the COMMAND+OPTION+? (question
mark) keys simultaneously. The Mail system information window displays
the server serial number, its name, and other information. When you
first install a server, the server's serial number will appear in the
Chooser desk accessory (DA) as part of the server's name when the Mail
driver is selected.
