PC Adm: Admin Gains Rights to Shared Folder After Deletion

 Last reviewed: October 17, 1995
Article ID: Q131512
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Mail for PC Networks, versions 3.0, 3.2, and 3.2a

SYMPTOMS

When you delete a mailbox with shared folders or groups from the Mail Administrator's program (ADMIN.EXE) for Mail for PC Networks, the Administrator account that deleted the mailbox will become the owner of the shared folders or groups and has rights to delete the shared folders or groups with his or her Mail client.

RESOLUTION

If you are using IMPORT.EXE, and you delete the users using the -a option, or if there is possible folder file corruption, then this will not work.

To determine the folder owner and type (public, private, or shared), run the ADMIN.EXE program, and select Local-Admin, Folders, Print, and either Printer or File.
