Hi, Did you try it from Outlook and check if that works ? Also run the following Powershell command to verify that the correct permissions are set: Get-MailboxPermission -Identity "Mailboxname/Username" |fl Regards, Johanblog: www.johanveldhuis.nl

Hi Greg,Additionally, did you wait for some time after giving permission? It may take up to 2 hours to refresh the cache information on Information Store service, or you can restart the IS service but it affects to all the mailboxes on the server.Amit Tank | MVP - Exchange | MCITP:EMA MCSA:M | http://ExchangeShare.WordPress.com

hi check the Allow inheritable permissions check box is selected on the user object or on the OU container in Active Directory Users and Computers. Open the Active Directory Users and Computers snap-in.On the View menu, click Advanced Features.Open the properties of a user who cannot log on to Outlook Web Access.Click the Security tab, and then click Advanced.Select the Allow inheritable permissions check box if it has not already been selected.Repeat steps 3 through 5 for each organizational unit between the user object and the top-level container.Allow time for replication to occur. rgd, eknathrao

Yes, thats not normal. Those built-in accounts shouldnt only have Full Access permission and duplicated. Can you see those duplicated accounts via EMC? Have you tried to remove them, whats the result? Do all problematic mailboxes have such symptom? Does the issue only appear on several existing mailboxes? How about new created mailboxes? Please try to remove duplicated accounts, and check the issue

These accounts were migrated from exchange 2003 and i was not sure if I should remove duplicate entre.We have an accountcalled goodadmin which has explicit full access to all mailboxes formobile email access.I have attempted to log into mailboxes with this account and have found that it does not have access tosome accounts.From what i understand just because my account is a member of exchange organization administrators does not mean I will have access to the content of mailboxes... Correct? I guess I am having a hard time troubleshooting the problem and identifying the differences in these accounts.
