This article was previously published under Q292987





SYMPTOMS
When you create a new folder in Outlook, the folder inherits the permissions of its direct parent folder.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs when you create the folder manually, or if you create the folder after you upgrade to a newer version of Outlook.

This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
When you upgrade to Outlook 97 from the Microsoft Exchange client, the following new folders (referred to as special folders) are created:

Calendar

Contacts

Drafts

Journal

Notes

Tasks

These special folders inherit the permissions of the root mailbox folder, which is also known as the Outlook Today folder. The default permission is set to none.
