While attempting to reply to a message from someone with whom I regularly
correspond via our corporate email system (Exchange 2000 with Outlook 2002
SP3 clients on Windows XP SP2 desktops), I received the error: "You do not
have the permission to send the message on behalf of the specified user." The
From field was showing in the (attempted) reply message--I never display that
by choice--and my own name was in the box. When I right-click on my name in
that field and choose Properties, I see that it is, indeed, my own Exchange
account. If I delete my name from the From field, I still get the error. From
that point on (three business days ago, now), I can't send messages at all
from Outlook on that machine. I'm fine on another machine, and even replied
to the email on which the problem started, all without issue. I have
attempted an Office Repair, as well as removing Outlook through Add/Remove
Programs, accompanied by reboots after each step in the process, and finally
a reinstall...to no avail. I'm an administrator on my own machine, if that
matters. I have no delegates set up in my mailbox, but I did try adding
myself as a delegate in order to then give myself permission to send on
behalf of myself...but I got a message to the effect that I cannot add myself
as a delegate to my own mailbox, so, clearly, the system recognizes me as me.
My company's help desk (of which I used to be a member) is at a loss, and the
ticket is currently buried in the Exchange Administrator's queue, although
the fact that it's a problem on only one machine would seem to indicate that
Exchange is fine, and Outlook is having a problem. Any ideas?
