Accessing other mailboxes...
I am using Exchange 2000, and Outlook 2000, XP, and 2003 on my desktops. When I open outlook and go to FileOpenOther User's Folders I can type the name of any other exchange user in and open their mailbox and read their emails. I have looked at the permissions for the Inbox on several user folders. The only thing liisted is Default - None and Anonomous - None. There are no other explicit permissions. How can I block one user from accessing other mailboxes?

That would indicate that there may be permissions granted on the account as
a whole -- time for the admin to check Active Directory. Look for inherited permissions in particular. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Randy" wrote in message ...

What specifically am I looking for in AD? I have checked the Exchange server for permission problems, but I cannot see anything obvious.

On the Properties dialog for a user, on the Security tab, you can see who
has access to the mailbox. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Randy" wrote in message ...

Don't check the properties in Outlook. Check them in AD.
Also note: The newsgroup interface you are using apparently does not quote earlier messages in the thread, making your latest message so short on detail that you risk not getting the answer you're looking for.

So you mean I have to go to each user in the database, check the permission on each one? It seems there should be a "domain" or "information store" level setting that can be inherited by all users within AD. It is going to be very time consuming to open 2000 mailbox properties within AD.

Since AD permissions can be inherited and you're seeing this problem across
the board, checking the permissions at the domain or OU level is definitely where I'd start. This is why you must use AD, not Outlook, to find out what's going on with these permissions. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "Randy" wrote in message ...
