I went to create a distribution group (Exchange 2003 SP2, Server 2003 AD - 2003 functional level) and could not give it the email address I wanted because the address already exists in the organization, e.g x...@123.com. A search through AD indicates that there is a mail enabled public folder that holds that email address. However, I can only find that public folder with an AD search. I cannot see it in Exchange System Manager. Am I missing something? The public folder in question has a very old create date. Is it possible that I can't see it in System Manager b/c I don't have rights to it? (The account I'm using is an Exchange Full Administrator and a Domain Admin.) It was almost certainly created by a former admin who has been gone for years.
Stumped and grateful for pointers, RS
