How do I delete users emails within exchange server 2000?

Dan Crandell
 
If it's just a "now and then" occurence, just give yourself full rights to the specific users mailbox, open it up in Outlook and delete the target email.

If it's for more general use, as in you need to delete specific emails from multiple mailboxes, there's a tool to find which mailboxes contain specific messages,

I already opened up outlook for user and can not remove it from her email inbox. Is this what you mean by full rights, or are you talking on the server somewhere.

have other issue with distribution lists, some times they work sometimes they dont. But if I send email out individually they work fine it is when I put them all together that I get some NDR.

Ok, now I'm confused.

Did you go to the users computer, with them logged on, and open Outlook up and still couldn't delete the message in the Inbox? Please explain a little better about what you already tried.

In AD, you set it to Advanced View so that you can see the Exchange Advanced tab. On that tab you'll see Mailbox Rights which you select and simply add your account to the users mailbox, then give yourself full mailbox permissions. You can then open up their Exchange mailbox from your Outlook and have full access to it.

Yes the first part is correct. I was unawhere of the advanced tab in the server. So after setting the permissions for me I go to my client and log in as them or myself or how do I look at this users outlook?

At your Outlook, go to Tools/Services and go to the Properties of your Exchange Server. Go to the second tab and you'll see what to do from there.
