Outlook2007 folder URL problem

[T-rev]

We have implemented a mapi messageStore provider in MAPI with some exchange
extensions addins which has worked for a long time now, in outlook2000, XP
and 2003.

Now working with:
outlook2007 beta 2.

Background.
At present I am having a problem with PR_FOLDER_WEBVIEWINFO property found
on folders. Outlook2007 is no longer following this property found on any
folder within our messageStore. I have noticed that the homepage tab in the
folder properties is read only (dont know if this is in anyway related) on
all of our folders in 2007 also.

If you implement an exchange store in 2007 the folderproperties homePage tab
is not readonly - I can specifiy my URL or file and it follows to
the link fine. Although on the same vein - if I add a PST store, add a
folder, it also does not allow read-write access to this homepage tab.Same
behaviour as our messageStore.

Any ideas what would have changed to make this homePage tab readonly AND /
OR make the folder no longer follow URL links??.

I have full accessLevel, access on the folder, and also have the property
PR_FOLDER_WEBVIEWINFO filled in exactly as is in the exchange store
property, which is working in previous versions. I have looked for any
relevant flags which may have changed in the PR_STORE_SUPPORT_MASK but can't
see anything relevant there.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

This is a security change in Outlook 2007, long overdue, IMO. The following policy setting is available in the Outlk12.adm file for use with a Group Policy Object:

Do not allow folders in non-default stores to be set as folder home pages

Key: HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Security
Value name: NonDefaultStoreScript
Value type: DWORD
Values: 0 = do not allow FHPs in non-default stores (default), 1 = allow
