256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry



SYMPTOMS
After you move a user's mailbox to a different Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server mailbox server, that user experiences both of the following symptoms:
 * When the user accesses this mailbox by using a new Outlook profile the first time after the mailbox is moved, the mailbox display name that appears in the folder list appears correctly. For example, outlook:today (Mailbox - ) appears in the folder list.
 * When the user later accesses this mailbox by using the same Outlook profile, the mailbox display name no longer appears correctly. In this scenario, &quot;Mailbox&quot; does not appear in the mailbox display name. For example, outlook:today  appears in the folder list.



CAUSE
This problem occurs if all the following conditions are true:  You apply the hotfix that is described in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base (KB) article to your Exchange 2000 computers:

810326 Folder names may be changed to Hebrew in migration from Exchange Server 5.5 to Exchange 2000 Server

Particularly, you install this hotfix on the destination mailbox server of the mailbox move operation. You move a user's mailbox to a different Exchange 2000 computer. You create a new Outlook profile for the user whose mailbox you moved.

In this scenario, after you configure localization for the user's mailbox by applying the 810326 hotfix, when the user first logs on by using a new Outlook profile, Outlook automatically adds the word &quot;Mailbox&quot; to the mailbox display name. Additionally, Outlook populates a registry value for that user's profile with this mailbox display name information. When Outlook successfully logs on to the mailbox for the first time, Outlook retrieves the mailbox display name from the Exchange 2000 computer and overwrites the user's profile information with the information that Outlook receives from the Exchange 2000 computer. This problem occurs because the Exchange 2000 computer does not have the word &quot;Mailbox&quot; in the mailbox display name.
