We have a mailbox that is shared amongst 12 users. That mailbox has
grown to >6GB. As a result, I belive it caused a-
Mapi session "/o=domain Exchange/ou=First Administrative
Group/cn=Recipients/cn=user.name" exceeded the maximum of 500 objects
of type "objtFolderView".
I was able to increase the default of
500 to 600 which stopped that error, but I believe it is somehow
related to the total number of items in the user's personal folder,
public folder, and shared mailbox folder.
My question is, in order to decrease the size of the shared mailbox I can probably archive older messages.
1. Is it possible to create the archive on our fileserver (which gets
backed up) and still make it available to all 12 users so that stubs
are still available to each so they can search for archived email?
2. Is it correct to assume that I would set up one user's Outlook
profile (dept head maybe) to auto archive that shared mailbox?
3. Is there a better way to use a common mailbox e.g. help@domain.com?
Also, I plan to create archives in the networked \user folder for each
of the users, especially those with 2-7GB mailboxes. Is this a viable
option? What are the cons, especially for notebook users?
We are using Exchange 2003 SP2 and Outlook 2007.
