When searching this type of folder, you can't search other folders at the same time

[Steven Bellamy]

Hi,

I have a user that is trying to use Advanced Find to search another users
mail box for and e-mail in Outlook 2000 Sp3.
When the user selects the browse button to select more than one directory to
search, the following error message appears "When searching this type of
folder, you can't search other folders at the same time".
Also, if a top directory is selected, Advanced Find does not do a recursive
search, but only searches the selected directory.
The user has the owner role assigned to the folders in question, so I don't
think that's it to do with permissions...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You can only search one delivery location at a time. You cannot search
through multiple mailboxes at once.

Hi Robert,

As far as I know, I was only searching through 1 users mail account. I
selected the 'Clear All' button in the browse section. Is this correct?

Robert,

Further to my other post, the tickbox 'Search Subfolders' is greyed out and
is unticked, and idea what is causing this?
