All our Outlook clients are in french, I move a mailbox from 5.5 to 2k and now one client have english folders ?! and it's the only one.

I found a vb script that change the name of default folder, but it works only with english outlook (

With older OS version it's possible to rename default folders (

I don't know why it's not possible now under Win2k or XP. I will try to reinstall Outlook

Thank you

I’ve found several ways to change the default Outlook folder names. The renaming is done on the Exchange 2000 server that hosts the users’ mailbox. I’m not 100% sure of which right actually allowed the rename action in the different methods. But appropriate rights are of course needed, “Full mailbox access” on the users’ mailbox and “Exchange admin” and/or “Domain admin” (“Local Admin”).

* In the IIS snap-in: Browse your server name, Default Web Site and Exchange. Localize the user and just rename the folders.

* At the M drive in Windows Explorer: Browse the M drive for the user in the MBX folder and rename the folders.

* In Outlook 2002 and 2003: Use the Run command to start Outlook with the /ResetFolderNames switch to reset the language of the default folders to the language of the Outlook client.

* With Exmerge: Haven’t tested this way. This procedure is more complex but it might be good if you have a huge amount of user folders you want to change:
