This article was previously published under Q247476





SYMPTOMS
When you use the Windows 2000 Active Directory Users and Computers Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap in to enable or add Exchange 2000 Server mail for a user that is not mailbox-enabled but that does have an SMTP e-mail address defined on the General tab of the user properties, you receive the following error message:

The selected recipient is already mail enabled.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue:
 * 1) Right-click the user object, and then click Disable Exchange Mail.
 * 2) When the warning message of removing all e-mail addresses appears, click Yes to confirm.
 * 3) Right-click the user object, click Enable Exchange Mail or Add Exchange Mail.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
