Unable to Search a Delegates Subfolders.

[Stef]

Hello Everyone,

Using WinXP and Outlook 2002. I am trying to search
another delegates Inbox subfolders. I am setup as an
EDITOR for Mail, Calender etc. I go into Advanced Find
with Inbox selected and click on the browse button but
the "Search Subfolder" tick box is greyed out and it will
only let me look in the actual Inbox or the delegate's
specific subfolder rather than all subfolders under the
Inbox. I can open the delegates subfolders manually and
read any emails, but just can't search them in one hit.
The account is a functional account that about 30 people
have access to and so has a very large number of emails.
I think it might either a bug or a permissions problem.
Anyone any ideas.

Thankyou in advance
Stef

That's a limitation of the Exchange service provider. The same thing
applies to searching folders and subfolders of a public folders store.

Nothing they can do about that unless they write a completely new
Exchange store and provider for it.
