Outlook 2003 Issue - Design Flaw??? Other User's Deleted Items Fol

[SteveJHU]

Hi,

We discovered a possible design flaw with Outlook 2003. SP2 is applied.
When connected to another user’s mailbox, and DRAGGING an item from the
other user’s Inbox to the other user’s Deleted Items, the item is not placed
in the other user’s Deleted Items. It actually goes to the primary user’s
own Deleted Items folder. In Outlook 2002, this does not occur. In that
version, dragging an item from another user’s Inbox to that user’s Deleted
Items put that item in the other user’s Deleted Items.

We have tested this on serveral installations and serveral mailboxes, always
with the same results. Appropriate user permissions are configured on the
mailboxes, and the test users drag an item into another user's Deleted Items
folder in Outlook 2002, but not with Outlook 2003. All mailboxes are on the
same Exchange Server.

Is this a known issue? Can anyone reproduce it? Any suggestions are
appreciated.

Thanks,

Steve

Thanks a lot Sue. It looks like this reg hack worked.

We didn't have to do this reg hack in 2002 though. Is the default behavior
different or is it possibly just our installation? Thanks!
