Can't rename folders

[Lucas van Vloten]

I am using Outlook 2010 beta on Windows Vista. I am using a shared Exchange
mailbox for which I have 'Owner' permissions. I can do everything I like
including sending mail from this address and creating and removing folders.
Under the 'Inbox' there is an extensive folder structure, up to 2 levels
deep. Although there are more people authorized to use this mailbox, and may
have it included in their active Outlook profile, as far as I know I am the
only one who is actively using it.

I can rename a folder under the Inbox and move mail in and out. When I read
the mailbox name in Visual Basic I see the new name. However, after a few
minutes the mailbox will always revert to its old name. There is no way to
rename a folder, the only solution I can think of is to make a new folder and
move all mail and delete the old folder. But this is very annoying...

This problem already happened when I was using Outlook 2007 on the same
computer.

Does anyone have any idea what is happening?

Thanks,
Lucas

You can't have more than one version of Outlook installed in the same
partition.
