Hi Milly,
Thanks for your reply. Sorry I did forget to mention
those details to you. Here they are:
Outlook Version - 2003 (the newest one)
Exchange Server - Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 (on a
Microsoft 2003 Small Business Server)
TO add the Mailbox - As metioned earlier in my first
posting I used the online Office help in outlook. Here it
gave me step by step instructions to add that extra
mailboxc. I pasted the instructions below as they
explained it:
If you are a delegate (delegate: Someone granted
permission to open another person's folders, create items,
and respond to requests for that person. The person
granting delegate permission determines the folders the
delegate can access and the changes the delegate can
make.) and routinely respond to e-mail for someone else,
you may want to add their mailbox (mailbox: Location on a
Microsoft Exchange server where your e-mail is delivered.
Your administrator sets up a mailbox for each user. If you
designate a personal folder file as your e-mail delivery
location, messages are routed to it from your mailbox.) to
your account for quick access. You must have been granted
at least reviewer permission to open their mailbox and see
it in your Folder List.
On the Tools menu, click E-Mail Accounts.
Click View or change existing e-mail accounts, and then
click Next.
In the list, click the Exchange account type, and then
click Change.
Click More Settings, and then click the Advanced tab.
Click Add, and then type the mailbox name of the person
whose mailbox you want to add to your user profile
(Outlook user profile: A group of e-mail accounts and
address books. Typically, a user needs only one but can
create any number, each with a set of e-mail accounts and
address books. Multiple profiles are useful if more than
one person uses the computer.). If you do not know the
mailbox name of the person, contact your administrator.
I followed the above steps and then the error message
mentioned below occured when I double clicked on the new
mailbox that appeared in my outlook mail folders on the
left hand panel side.
Let me know if you need any more info to help me with this
problem. Thanks a mil!

or any other useful information, it is hard for us to attempt to help you.

| Hi there,
