The asp page has not changed for years (except for CDOSYS replacing CDONTS).
The error that comes up after clicking Cancel is

HTTP Error 401.5 - Unauthorized: Authorization failed by an ISAPI/CGI
application.
Internet Information Services (IIS)

The default mail folders are under c:\inetpub\mailroot as expected and which
Everyone has modify access to. However, I do not have a website in wwwroot
(ie Default Web Site is stopped). Virtual, Administration and Sharepoint
websites are started.
