Ok, well a post I saw in the Outlook forum re .PST's prompted a
thought then - I am thinking that perhaps I cannot see another user's
Inbox sub-folders, even though I have full permission to them in
Exchange Advanced Security, because the sub-folders are in a local
.PST file - is that likely the case?

Yes.

If so, and I get a .PST from the user's computer, and full Exchange
permissions to their mailbox, can I open that .PST in my Outlook (or
some other way if you have a suggestion)?

All you'd need is that PST copied locally to your computer - but don't use
PSTs. See

The Exchange Administrator has given me full rights to their mailbox
from within my active directory, and I have done what you have
suggested (i.e. I have added their mailbox in my Outlook Exchange
server service, so I can see their 'sent' items, 'deleted' items
etc., but not the subfolders that are under their Inbox (i.e. where
they store most of their mail into seperate folders). Are you saying
that irrespective of what rights the Adminstrator gives me, the
person that owns the mailbox also has to basically give me access -
the 'reviewer' rights?

Nope - you'll have the permission to do all this already, if you
have full mailbox rights. Sorry I missed that in your original post.

If I am an administrator, or have been given explicit access to a
given users Inbox (through Domain/Active Directory Security) can I
also get access to sub-folders in that person's Inbox? Does that
person explicilty have to share their folders, or is there a way
with Admin secuirty rights, to access their subfolders anyway?

Win2003 Server active directory domain, Exchange Server 2003, all
users using Outlook 2003 on the same LAN.


To see any folders other than the defaults you see in file | open |
other user's folders, you'll need to have at least 'reviewer'
rights to the root of the other mailbox in Outlook (set in Outlook
- right-click on the top-level folder, properties, permissions).
Then in your Outlook, go to the properties of the Exchange server
service, more settings / advanced tab, and add the other mailbox
there - it will now show up in your folder list.
