Open the active directory users and computers, (check that you have advanced features enabled) and from the properties of the user choose the "exchange advanced" tab. Then click on "Mailbox rights" and there add your username and give full access to read thea mailbox. Wait few minutes and then you will be able to browse the users' mailbox. -----Original Message----- From: Ingo Jochim [mailto:ijochim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, September 20, 2002 10:17 AM To: [ExchangeList] Cc: Ingo Jochim Subject: [exchangelist] How to open users mailbox in exchange 2000 ? http://www.MSExchange.org/ I would like to open a users mailbox using admin rights.
