I am an Exchange Admin and have given myself permissions to the configuration container so that I can view any mailbox that I open in Outlook. Now for some reason recently there are folders in those mail box's that will not display. When I click on them it acts like it wants to open the folder but then comes up with no error but no info as well. No one has changed permissons on these folders so I know that is not the problem, and also some folders work while other don't, I couldn't find anything in Technet, so I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this problem.
I'm running Exchange 5.5 w/SP 3 on NT 4 w/ SP 6a, I ran ISinteg with 'alltests' and it found 10 errors and fixed them all. therefore
the database is in good shape.

Sure fire way to be able to read them all is to give yourself EXACTLY same perms as the permissions admin account.

Something to also keep in mind for others out there is that reading other people's mail accounts can contravene company policy and put you in a very bad light at the very least.

I am personally aware of major system integrators that have a "scruples list" of admins that have been found out to have been reading mail for personal gain.

Something to just keep in mind.

I have the same permissions! As stated not ALL folders are visable but some are, As if the permissions in the database are messed up. Or is it on the client side with Outlook? On an additional note, we all share our individual contacts folder with our group and that is not working either.
