hi all, i have been asked an interesting one thi morning. Can i create a few subfolders within a users mailbox from the exchange? Or will i need to log into the outlook client and create the subfolders on the users behalf? I then need to apply the reqested permissions. Any suggestions please? Thanks

If you want to avoid opening the mailbox in Outlook (or any other client), you'll need to use a bit of code. I've never tried it, but these look promising: http://gsexdev.blogspot.co.uk/2010/02/create-folder-under-inbox-if-one-doesnt.html#!/2010/02/create-folder-under-inbox-if-one-doesnt.html or, for multiple mailboxes: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/akashb/archive/2011/07/23/creating-folder-using-ews-managed-api-1-1-from-powershell.aspx For Exchange 2010, and maybe 2007, of course.Mobile OWA For Smartphone www.leederbyshire.com email a@t leederbyshire d.0.t c.0.m

Technically, EWS is a client. You might be able to do this with Managed Folder, too. [string](0..33|%{[char][int](46+("686552495351636652556262185355647068516270555358646562655775 0645570").substring(($_*2),2))})-replace " "

its ok i have just done it via outlook, chickened out :) thanks anyway
