Outlook Inbox Permissions

I recently discovered that all of our users have the ability to see each
others Inbox. How do I prevent this? Is there an incorrect security setting
in Exchange, or must it be changed on each users machin? Thanks

It may be in both the Exchange Server and individual mailboxes. Ask the
Exchange Admin to check it on the server.

Unfortunately Milly, I am the Exchange admin at the moment. My previous
admin, and MCSE is no longer here. I suspect too many permission in the
Exchange box. I have been able to prevent other from seeing the Inbox by
going to the Inbox permissions in properties, and adding all users withthe
rights of None. Unfortunately when I close Outlook and re-enter, those
permissions are gone. I appreciate your insight. Thanks- LB

Then I would post to an Exchange group for specific information on your version of Exchange as to how to remove these universal permissions. Microsoft.public.exchange.admin is a good place to start. Be sure to include your versions of Outlook and Exchange.
