I'm looking for a way to secure a journaling mailbox in Exchange 2007 SP1. Specifically, I want to allow specific users to login to the journaling mailbox to check messages, but I want to prevent anyone (including someone logging in as the journaling account itself) from deleting them. Thanks.

Hi, We can allow specific users to access the journaling mailbox by giving the Reviewer permission on Inbox folder in Outlook. Through this, the users except for the journaling account itselfcan only have the read permission but couldn't delete the email. To begin we can use MAPI permissions assigned at the top level mailbox object. The reviewer role gives the user the ability to read items and files only. In order for all folders to be viewed the Folder Visible permission must be present on the top level. Here are the steps: 1. Open the target mailbox2. Right click on the particular folder you want to grant the access to and choose Properties a. Choose the Permissions tabb. Click Add and from the address list choose the user to grant access to and then click okayc. Choose the reviewer right and then click okay 3. Right-click on the Mailbox <Target Mailbox Display Name> folder and choose Properties. a. Choose the Permissions tabb. Click Add and from the address list choose the user to grant access to and then click okayc. Leave the role as None and select the Folder Visible permission and then click okay Outlook folder permissionshttp://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HP052422871033.aspx Thanks Allen
