With Exchange 5.5 I could use Outlook to peer into another users Inbox, Calendar, Etc... Once more where has this functionality gone, is it because of the way that Exchange 2000 stores mail? (in folder format apposed to dbase style)

First a note Exchange 2000 mail is not in folder format, it is still in one of two databases (the rich priv1.edb or native priv1.stm). The IFS (Installable File System) allows you to access the db at a file system level.
You can still peer into other users folders, granted you have been given access. The exception here is that in 5.5, the service account automatically had access to view all mailboxes. This has been changed. The SA and any delegated admin's by default do NOT have full mailbox access. You must now specifically grant admin's full mailbox access to "at will" open other users mail.

Thanks that was simple enough, also thanks for the info on folder vs dbase format I was starting to get send mail flash backs.

I posted some other Exchange 2000 questions and I am sure as my test lab goes further I will be posting some more. Thanks again.
