I have MS Mail running on my IIci. It works a lot better if it loads early
in the boot sequence (I have mine renamed "  MS..." so it loads second,
right after SAM Intercept and before everything else). it's generally
flakey. It won't work under A/UX 2.0. It won't work on my Mac SE with a
Radius Accelerator. It won't work if you load it after some INITs but will
work with others (it's really hard to tell which INIT it doesn't like).

I can make a broad, semi-educated guess about your problems. The guess is
"It isn't SAM's fault".
