To resolve this issue, contact Microsoft Product Support Services to obtain Windows Messaging for Windows 2000.
The package that Product Service Support sends you is an updated version of the package that was included on the Windows 2000 Beta 3 CD-ROM. It contains an updated license agreement that informs users that Windows Messaging is not year 2000 compliant, and that the use of the software is at their own risk.

MORE INFORMATION
After you install Windows Messaging for Windows 2000, you can administer a Post Office and create, delete, and edit users by using the Microsoft Mail PostOffice tool in Control Panel. You can also create, delete, and edit mail profiles by using the Mail tool in Control Panel. Programs that use MAPI should also work.
The Windows 2000 Readme.txt file states that Windows Messaging is available in the Valudeadd\Legacy folder on the Windows 2000 CD-ROM. This is a documentation error.
MAPI is a set of functions that mail-enabled and mail-aware programs can use to create, manipulate, transfer, and store mail messages. It contains tools that program developers can use to define the purpose and content of mail messages, and provides flexibility in the management of stored mail messages. MAPI also provides a common interface that program developers can use to create mail-enabled and mail-aware programs independent of the underlying messaging system. Messaging clients provide an interface for interaction with the Microsoft Windows Messaging System (WMS). This interaction typicallyincludes requesting services from MAPI-compliant providers such as message stores and address books.
