Hi I have mail disabled an inbox in a public folder with the mail address x1@x.com. Now i would like to create a user mailbox with the same address and it says that the address x1@x.com already exists. When i do a custom advanced search in active directory that looks like this: proxyaddresses=smtp:reporting@arcticpaper.com it finds that the address stil is in that inbox. When i mail enable the inbox i cannot find it there. How can i delete that address so i can create a user mailbox with the same mail address? We have Exchange 2010. Best regards Matthias

Hi, Seems that the object was not deleted correctly from MESO. Delete the object manually from domain.local/Microsoft Exchange System Objects See if you can find it, running: Get-MailPublicFolder x1@x.com| ft primary*,identityMartina Miskovic

Hi Im sorry but can you explain a little more in detail how i delete it cause i have never done it before. I just want to delete the mail address not the public folder. Thank you. /Matthias
