This article was previously published under Q169871





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.
