Outlook 98 problem

[Shibin John]

Hi,

I am using Outlook 98 and I am facing some different type
of problem. One of my colleague sent a mail to another
and marked cc to me. My problem is, whenever the original
reciever deletes the same mail from his inbox, my inbox
the same mail is showing as deleted. But I didn't delete
the mail even sometimes, not read.

Anyone can tell me, what is the problem?? Pls help me....

It almost sounds like the two of you are sharing an IMAP mailbox. What kind
of account are you working with?

 

[Shibin John]

No, we are not sharing an IMAP. This is our company mail
id and each having different mail id's and different mail
boxes. Both are having their own pc's and using it
seperately for their own office uses. Our mail server is
Microsoft Exchange server and client side, we are using as
Outlook 98. But, only two persons are facing this
problem. On the mailbox, right side, it showing the
status as message has been deleted. Is this the problem
being with outlook98??

Pls help me.

Wouldn't be an Outlook 98 thing if working against an Exchange server. What
is weird is if you each have your own mailbox (ie. not sharing a
mailbox/folder), you each get a pointer to the message. If user A and B get
the same message and A deletes and B doesn't, then the pointer is just
removed from A's mailbox and B keeps his/hers. Message state (read, not
read, flagged, .etc) is entirely up to the user. The only time I've seen
what you describe is when a mailbox/folder is being shared between 2 or more
users. Do you know what version of Exchange is being run?

I think, it is exchange 5.5 is using, because, I am new
to this site. Anyway I will check out whether the user is
sharing or not. Thanx for the valuable information.
