Limit Inbox Accessibility

One of my users has shared thier inbox with another user yet everybody who
wants to see the inbox of client A can see it. Why is this and how may I stop
other users from seeing the shared inbox except for the allowed user?
Thank you.

Thank you.

When you post in here, always include your version, SP level, and mode (if
applicable) of Outlook - you can find this information in Help | About. Also
include the type of mail account(s) you use and any other pertinent details.

Be sure to put a consise summary of your question in the subject line, and
the full details in the body of your post.

That said: I presume you're using Exchange. Can all users open all other
users' inboxes/folders? If so, somoene has monkeyed around with permissions
in Exchange, as it does not allow this by default. Perhaps users are members
of groups they shouldn't be.

Knowledgebase article 262054 explains how to grant full mailbox access, but
it should also be helpful in telling you where to look for where access is
already granted...be careful, as you don't want to accidentally remove
anything that *should* be there. Also see
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;326061

If this is *not* the issue, check the permissions that this user set on
his/her mailbox in Outlook.

My humbled apology.

The machine is running Outlook 98, SP unknown, mode N/A.

The issue was resolved. Seems a bit of a user error. The user wanted to
share thier inbox with another user and in doing so changed the "default"
permissions to "Author" thus giving all users access to thier inbox. The
default should be set to "none" and give the additional user review
permissions.

Thank you for your prompt reply. Happy Holidays.

Bill
