Hi No the mail-enabled user has not been logged in before. Well, I created the mailbox (for example: junkmail) then add the DomainUsers to the mailbox exchange rights user Active Dir Users * Comp. Then I open up my own mailbox, add the junkmail box, restart outlook and then try to access it.

What is the time interval after granting the permissions before trying to logon? Looking for the consistent process. Adding rights in the mailstore itself is different than granting the rights at the ADUC level; folder level permissions vs. mailstore leve permissions. ________________________________ From: Gabrie van Zanten [mailto:gabrie@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2003 2:15 AM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Giving other users rights to mailboxes http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hi I always have problems giving other users special rights to mailboxes. We have a number of user-mailboxes that have to be shared by a number of people. When opening that user mailbox in Adir Users&Comp, I go to the Exchange props of that user and then Exchange Adv tab, the mailbox rights. I then add a usergroup and give them full mailbox access rights. But when one of those users starts outlook and adds that extra user-mailbox, it sometimes won't open. Then I first have to create a profile, logon as that user, open outlook and go to the mailbox props and give Editor permissions on a number of folders. Problem is that the behavior is not consistent. At least, I think so. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and I bet I'm mostly the one who is not consistent in the whole procedure. But what is the correct way to give other users access to a mailbox, without having to logon as that user.
