Okay...

I have a user who did something to her Exchange settings in Entourage
that I can't figure out for the life of me. When she gets a new e-mail
on her Exchange account, it delivers to the Exchange inbox, then
reroutes to the local inbox, and sends a copy to her Deleted Items
folder under Exchange. Any idea how to fix that?

I am a support guy in a Windows environment and am only *mildly*
proficient with the Mac OS, so remember that when answering.

Thanks to anyone who can help!

Patrick

Patrick,

I'm afraid I can't help you. Just wanted to let you know (for what it's
worth) that I, too, am the lone Mac user on a Windows LAN and running
Entourage/Tiger. Weird things have been happening since upgrading to
Tiger...too many to list here. I have the same thing happening (mail
winding up in the Delete Folder), attachments getting throug corrupted,
mail with attachments not going through...really weird stuff.

It sounds as if she might have a rule under Tools/Rules/Exchange that says
to "Move <some messages that match criteria> to Inbox". It can happen that a
rule which was set up to move messages to a different folder (perhaps an
Exchange folder) which no longer exists with the same ID due to a) the
database having been rebuilt, b) possibly re-making the account in Entourage
or otherwise losing the ID, or 3) simply deleting the folder, defaults to
the local Inbox when the folder no longer exists or is misidentified by ID.
"Moving" a message from a server folder to a local folder is actually a
"Copy" followed by a Delete of the original: that's why you're seeing the
original in the Exchange Deleted Items folder.

If you can't find such a rule there, also check the Tools/Mailing List
Manager, and its rules on the Options page of every MLM entry (if any).

Patrick,

Have had this problem in the past as well. Creating a new identity for
the user has resolved the issue for me in the past. Apologies if this
something you've already attempted.

Regards,
Rob
