Wrong Folder Name Language after Mailbox Restore

[Rainer Winnen]

Hello ! We have the following problem:

we had a raid system crash on an exchange 2003 sp2 server on windows 2003
sp1 (both english). we had to reinstall the os and afterwards to do a
disatster recovery of exchange 2003, followed up by a restore of the
mailboxes (no database backup available) with veritas backup exec. everything
works fine: veritas has restored english folder names in outlook, but after
the first start of an english outlook 2003 (with english client os) there
were additional german folders (posteingang, gesendete objekte) and new mails
are stored into the german folders. now my question: how can we change the
destination where new mails are stored ?? afterwards we would like to delete
the german folder names ?!?

Regards

Rainer Winnen

Try running Outlook once with /resetfoldernames

We have done so - but it does not work. :-(

Try running Outlook once with /resetfoldernames
