Mailbox default folders language

SUMMARY

Microsoft Exchange creates the default mailbox folders (Inbox, Outbox, Sent Items and Deleted Items) when the user first checks his mail through any of the available clients, or when the first message the exchange server delivers to this mailbox (if received before the first mail check form the mailbox owner).
These folders are created in localized language (Arabic for example) if the mailbox owner checked his mailbox through localized client (localized Outlook for example) with localized menu (not using Multi Language Pack). However, this is the case only if the user used MAPI protocol (outlook) or WebDAV (OWA); POP3 and IMAP4 clients don’t send information to the exchange server about the language of the client, thus the folders will be created using English names. Once these names are created, they keep their localized or non-localized names as permanent.

MORE INFORMATION

Using the shared M drive on the exchange server, the user can rename his mailbox folders to any name, using any language, he likes to.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
