Check to make sure that your permissions allow you to do what it is that you're doing.
Check to make sure you don't have any dead users in the permissions of the folders. Are these migrated folders or new folders created under Exchange 2000. If you are mailing, make sure the folders are mail enabled. They are not mail enabled by default in native mode Exchange 2k.

I can send mail to the public folder, and it gets to the folder, but if I try to open, it hangs (message that Outlook is retrieving data from the Microsoft Exchange Server <server>. You can cancel request...). The message shows in the upper pane, but the details do not show in the details pane. If I open the folder and try to delete some messages (that are spam), I get a prompt asking if I am sure I want to delete, I click yes, and sometimes I have to do this 3 times before the message dissapears. I have restarted the Exchange server and my PC w/ no luck. All of my mailboxes are working, it is just with the public folders. Also, I created a new public folder as a mailbox for testing and when I try to send a message to that account, auto-complete attempts to guess [EMAIL PROTECTED], but displays tester<TESTER5BEE160740436CD8E.....>. The message appears in the preview pane, but the details pane is blank with an informational "This item cannot be displayed in the preview pane. Open the item to read its contents." Can anyone explain what is happening and how to fix this? Sorry for the length, but I wanted to give as much info as possible. FYI - it's Exchange 2000 server, Outlook 2002 clients, no obvious events in event viewer, all pertinent Exchange services seem to be running. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=& lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/cgi-bin/lyris.pl?enter=exchange&text_mode=&lang=english To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
