So, back to this a little later, but does anyone have any ideas just wtf might be going on?
I can't see a single problem/error in any logs, yet I seem to have lots of these things in the MESO folder despite them not being mail-enabled according to the EMS or ECP. Best lead I've found so far is from someone on the Exchange Forums on Technet who says they've seen this a few times and always post-migration from 2003 to 2010 which is where we are. On the basis that we have a fairly small subset of Public Folders which should be mail-enabled, my (rough) plan was something like: Mail-Disable all public folders. See what's left MESO folder and delete them (appreciate any tips on what to look out for and NOT delete in this folder) Mail-Enable the public folders that should be mail-enabled.

I am, but I'd like to understand it if possible - there seem to be a lot of folders with email addresses and whilst I've not yet reconciled them I suspect it's more than are mail-enabled. I should add no other public folder issues, everything is working fine, I only know of this issue with trying to add the email address. ________________________________________ From: Richard Sobey [[email protected]] Sent: 27 September 2011 4:39 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: SMTP Address is un use by a non mail-enabled Public Folder?!

Are you in a position to delete the folder and start again? Sometimes, nuking from orbit is the only way to be sure.
