Add additional mailbox in existing user's inbox
Hi there,
I am setting up another user in the company's mailbox to appear in my inbox so I can see their folders etc. but when I click on the new mailbox that has been added it keeps on brining up an error message saying "Unable to display the folder. Microsoft Office Outlook could not access the specified folder location." I have completed this task in the past and even dialled in as the Administrator I am still having this error message. I followed the step by step from the Office onlince help of Microsoft so that is fine. Did I miss a step somewhere or are there any other details that I had to do when creating the new mailbox that I left out that might be the reason why it is not working? Does anyone know or can you help me to access it? Thanks so much! |

Can you try this with a new profile? Are the mail delivery locations for
each mailbox set to the Exchange server and not Personal Folders? -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.
