Per-mailbox IMAP settings in Exchange 2003 apply successfully but revert to server default
- by erictheavg
The title says most of it.
I have a Spiceworks mailbox that connects to our Exchange Server 2003 box via IMAP for receiving help desk issues. But for complicated reasons, I want it to receive those emails in text-only format.
So, I discovered that you can just go to:
Exchange System Manager
Administrative Groups
First Administrative Group
First Storage Group
Mailbox Store
Mailboxes
Right-click the mailbox, Configure Exchange Features
Edit the properties for IMAP
Set that mailbox to only receive message bodies as plain text.
I click OK, then Next, it reports success, and I assume I'm done. But then when I go right back to where I was, I see that "Use protocol defaults" is still checked. Anyone have a clue why this would be?
Some other details: I'm logged in as Administrator when I do this. I can't change this setting for the entire IMAP virtual server because some regular users use it. I only have one IP address to play with, which means I can't create another IMAP virtual server. Any suggestions or ideas are greatly appreciated!
