NOTE: These procedures only apply if you have installed Outlook with the Corporate Workgroup/Other option. This option allows you to use Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) services. To determine your installation type, on the Help Menu click About Microsoft Outlook. In About Microsoft Outlook you should see "Corporate" if you have the Corporate Workgroup installation.



SYMPTOMS
Items marked Private in Microsoft Outlook are viewable by a delegate who uses a mail client other than Outlook, such as the Microsoft Exchange client. However, delegates using Outlook cannot view private messages.



CAUSE
This behavior is by design. Outlook items are only private to other Outlook users.



WORKAROUND
Assign only Outlook users as your delegates.
