OL97: Messages Marked Private Not Visible in Secondary Mailboxes

• Microsoft Outlook 97

SYMPTOMS

E-mail messages that you mark with a sensitivity of Private are not visible in the Inbox of a secondary mailbox, although the unread message counter for the Inbox indicates that you have new, unread mail.

CAUSE

This behavior is by design.

WORKAROUND

Choose one of the following methods.

Method 1

Do not mark any messages that you need to send to a shared mailbox with the Private sensitivity.

Method 2

Create a separate profile that uses only the second mailbox.

3. Select Microsoft Exchange Server, and then click Properties.

4. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Add.
