Folder List View in a european language

[Greg]

Hello all,

We have an issue where some of our faculty members will travel overseas and check their email while there. However, when they get back, their folder list view is showing in the language of the country that they visited. For instance, a faculty member will travel to Poland and when he came back, his folder list view is now showing in Polish instead of English. His email itself is still is English. This has got to be a client setting within Outlook.....

If anyone has experienced this issue and how to resolve it, please let me know!!! If there is a way to avoid this in the future, please let me know.

Thanks for your time.

Greg

Depending on the version of Outlook if it is Outlook 2002 you can use this
command line switch
/ResetFolderNames which will reset the language of the folders back to the
language of the client

Unfortunately that particular switch was first introduced in Outlook 2002.
By the way to run the switch go to Start > Run > type "outlook
/resetfoldernames" without the quotes but with the space before the Forward
slash

Robert,

Thanks for the info....I'll try this out.....Is this a server setting within Exchange 2000 or is it strictly related to a client setting? What causes this to happen?

Thanks for your time

Hi Greg,
I honestly don't know; do your academics connect to the foreign Exchange
networks when overseas, I would think its most likely Exchange that hasn't
the English templates loaded I see if I can get this confirmed.
