RE: Opening other user's mailboxes
it's impossible to correct every off-base random usenet poster. you should, indeed, avoid looking at permissions on the M: drive. for mailbox permissions, you need to use the "Mailbox Rights" tab on the mailboxes as described in the KB articles. === Andy Webb[EMAIL PROTECTED] www.swinc.com Simpler-Webb, Inc.
