Ok... every time I go to do something with Outlook 2010 and Exchange 2010
when it comes to sharing or delegating it seems nothing ever works as one
would think or at least not intuitively.

In this case I have a manager that has been replaced with a new manager.

We simply wanted the new manager to be able to open the old managers email
account for historical purposes.

I went in and gave the new manager full access to the account.
I then went into the new manager's outlook and did a file / open / other
user's and opened up her mailbox.

Awesome... it worked.

Now we want to simply close it in outlook so you right-click on the mailbox
and choose close and get the following error:

"*This group of folders is associated with an e-mail account.*"

Now you would think it would just close... heck no... you get an error that
doesn't really lead you to what to do.  I have done some searching and it
looks like I would have to do some registry changes to close it.

It is so irritating to do what you think would be simple things only to
keep hitting these little roadblocks.

Obviously I am not an Exchange / Outlook Expert or I would have probably
known this was going to happen and how to properly set this up or prevent
it, but it should not be difficult.  Heck... open another user's mailbox...
then close the dang thing.
