There is no way to replicate mailboxes with the native Exchange product as you describe. You would need to look at a third party product such as NSI Double take... http://www.nsisoftware.com/ Quest availablibility manager also has some pretty cool functionality like what your looking for: http://wm.quest.com/products/availabilitysuiteexchange/ <http://www.dyntek.com> Hope that helps!

Unluckily, EXCHANGE 5.5 replicates ActiveDirectory, Addressbooks and public folders, but that's all ! Is there any way to achieve such a mailbox replication ? Is EXCHANGE server 2003 able to achieve it ? I have been considering using 'Public Folders' instead (replication capable) but they can only 'receive' messages, not send them. So they are useless for worldwide communication and email. Such a mailbox replication would be a definitive advantage, using EXCHANGE Server rather than a SMTP server. Moreover, I imagine EXCHANGE server's RPC could do it easily ... (it already does it for public folders) so why is this functionality desperately inexistent for individual mailboxes? Any ideas ?
