it's impossible to correct every off-base random usenet poster. you should, indeed, avoid looking at permissions on the M: drive.
for mailbox permissions, you need to use the "Mailbox Rights" tab on the mailboxes as described in the KB articles. ======================================================= Andy Webb [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.swinc.com Simpler-Webb, Inc.

Wittstock [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 23, 2002 12:42 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Opening other user's mailboxes Oh, that was a random Usenet poster telling another random Usenet poster that they should modify Mailbox permissions from the folders under the M:\ drive. They needed calendar permissions changed, so I assumed (very wrongly) that it could work also for the inbox permissions. However, because of this list, I am afraid to even look at the M:\ icon in Explorer so I thought I'd ask. By the way, no one responded to that random Usenet person telling them they are wrong.
