We are using Exchange 2000 with Outlook XP. We have a custom application that reads emails from 8 different outlook profiles and accounts. This application follows the tree down to each individual folder i.e. it is looking for the exactr strings af far as profiles and folders etc are concerned. Today, 5 of the 8 mailboxes no longer have the word 'MAILBOX' next to them next to 'Outlook Today' in the folder list, e.g. "Outlook Today - Mailbox [Account One]" now shows as "Outlook Today [Account One]" and the script no longer functions correctly as a result. As far as I can tell there have been no changes to any of the accounts, I have recreated the Outlook profiles and used 2 different machines, they all have the same results, it is connecting to the Exchange server correctly (i.e. it's not looking at a local PST file). I believe Outlook should be adding 'Mailbox' to any legitimate Exchange mail account automatically. Any clues as to why this may happen and how to revert this back? TIA, Paul. -- -> The email address used in this message *IS* valid <-
