Mail-enabled Public Folders not showing as enabled in PFMC or EMS

Good morning
I have some PF's that are mail enabled, but running the Get-PublicFolder cmdlet shows "mailenabled" attribute as False. Also, in the PF Management Console, the folder shows as not mail enabled (with an option to enable it).
I found this thread that seems to be related:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/exchange/en-US/918aad03-c96f-4023-89cc-ec2c66e51b93/mailenabled-public-folders-not-showing-as-mailenabled?forum=exchangesvrgenerallegacy
I'd like to do some testing, but recreating this issue with a test PF is actually really hard.
Does anyone know a way to force that "mailenabled" attribute to False after mail-enabling a PF? I can't find any ADSI attribute that is obvious. I changed MsExchRecipientTypeDetails to <not set> but that didn't do it...
**UPDATE** I just found out that msExchMailboxGuid is missing from that object. Does anyone have any kind of suggestion for how I can find the Guid of the mailbox that is no longer associated with this PF?
**UPDATE 2** I have found other PF's that are missing this attribute, but they are not displaying any symptoms. They are showing as mail enabled in the EMS and PFMC. So I guess this isn't a required attribute.
Could anyone explain the purpose of this attribute for mail-enabled public folders? I just assumed it was required.
Thanks!

Hi,
Do you migrate these mail-enabled public folders from previous Exchange server to Exchange 2010?
Please check if you can see the SMTP address for mail-enabled public folders via Properties of Public folders.
Please check if they show in the Microsoft Exchange System Objects in ADUC.
Besides, I recommend you mail disable the public folder and then mail enable it again to check the result in the Public Folder Management Console.
For a mail-enabled recipient, a minimum set of attributes is required to make all Exchange components work properly. For example, a mail-enabled entry (a user, contact, group, or public folder) has to have at least these attributes: mailNickname, legacyExchangeDN,
and displayName. Without the mailNickname attribute, an object is not considered mail-enabled.

  • Mail-enabled Public Folders Not showing as Mail-enabled

    We have completely migrated from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2007 (SP1 Rollup 5).  Many, but not necessarily all, of our mail-enabled public folders do not appear to be mail enabled in either the 2007 PF Management Console or the Shell, yet they are mail-enabled in the 2003 System Manager and we can send email to them.  If we mail-enable a folder in the EMC, it blows away any previous email addresses and creates a new one.
    Any reccomendations on how to get 2007 to accurately display the properties of these folders??

    Issue description: Mail-enabled public folders can’t show as mail-enabled status in the EMC and EMS after migrated from exchange 2003 to exchange 2007, right?
    Troubleshooting:
    1.       Please use “Get-PublicFolder” to check the output of a migrated problematic public folder, see if the value of “MailEnabled” is “True”
    Get-PublicFolder -Identity "\problematic public folders name"
    2.       Please find out where migrated problematic public folder objects exist in the AD. By default, mail-enabled public folders should stay in the “Microsoft Exchange System Objects” container. You can use ADUC or ADSIEditor to verify their current location
    3.       I assume that link between mail-enabled public folder and its AD object has been broken during the migration. So, I suggest you to create a test mail-enabled public folder, and compare the attributes of its AD objects with the problematic one with ADSIEditor. This will tell us if there are any incorrect values in the attributes of the problematic public folder objects
    a.       Launch the ADSIEditor (Start->run-> ADSIEditor.msc)
    b.      Locate problematic mail-enabled public folder object and the new created one
    c.       Right-click the objects and select “Properties”. Then, compare their attributes in the “Attribute Editor” tab
    Notes: Please select all three checkboxes in the “Attribute Editor” tab, it will save more time during the comparison

  • Mail-enabled Public Folders not accepting email from external users after migrating from Exchange 2003

    We are in the process of trying to decommission our Exchange 2003 server, all of the replicas have been moved to the Exchange 2010 SP3 servers. However, each time we dismount the public folder store on the 2003 server (just to see what won't work) nobody
    from outside the company can send mail to the mail-enabled public folders (we use these to communicate with vendors and customers).....they sit in the 2003 mail queue until I remount the store.
    I have mail disabled them on the 2010 PF server, waited a few hours and then mail enabled them again. Same issue. Interesting to note is that when the PF store on the 2003 server is dismounted people inside
    the company can still send to the mail-enabled PFs (which is good). I am stumped.

  • Anyone having an issue with the actual saved mail in Gmail folders not showing up in the folders of iMail after update?

    After the update to X Mavericks, the Mac I updated first (and set up with iCloud for the first time using my Gmail account) is no longer syncing the mail on iMail with the Gmail folders.  Thus, new mail shows up and syncs fine.  I can also see the folders for saved items moved out of the inbox but no actual mail shows up inside the folders.  Interestingly, if I open a saved mail item using Gmail on Safari, the mail then does show up on iMail.  Also of note, the sync occurred perfectly on my Air after same update.
    Any thoughts?

    I agree, and if you have a large amount of mail on the Gmail servers it might take over 24 hours to sync.  I have about 18 GB of mail on Gmail and it took over 24 hours to sync.  I went to Mailbox on the menu bar and forced the sync serval times, but I don't believe that speeded up the process.  I first upgraded my Macbook Air and compared it with my iMac.  There was a big differnce in the Inbox on my Macbook Air for several days.  Now a week after the upgrade, all folders appeat to have synced.  Next week I will probably upgrade my iMac to Mavericks.

  • Public folder not showing up as mail enabled, but it's receiving email.

    I've got several mail-enabled public folders that are showing up as not being mail-enabled in the public folder console, but are receiving email. If I run get-publicfolder -identity "\folder\name" | fl it shows that the folder is mail-enabled and
    all of the information listed there matches up with other folders that are showing up correctly. 
    With one of the folders doing this, I selected to mail enable it and see what happened. It accepted it, but it assigned it a completely different address, though if I search AD for the old address, it shows that it's attached to the very same public folder.
    Also, if I check the GAL, the public folder shows up twice, one with the old address and one with the new. 
    Any suggestions? Thanks! 

    We have the exact same problem.
    The "easy" way would be to export all mail-enabled objects from the MESO to text files to have smtp addresses saved :
    get-mailpublicfolder * | select displayname,emailaddresses,grantsendonbehalfto, primarysmtpaddress | fl >> C:\temp\export.txt
    Then delete Public Folder objects from the MESO
    After that, you should be able to mail-enable your public-folder and add previously saved smtp addresses.
    But this is just a workaround, not a real solution.
    This is why we have just opened a case with Microsoft to clearly identify what is causing this post-migration (2007-2013) issue. I will update this post as soon as i have some news.

  • SPAM and Exchange 2010 Mail-enabled Public Folders

    Is there a way to determine if mail sent to our Exchange 2010 mail-enabled Public Folders by our customers is ever rejected because it was tagged as spam? The concern is that we might not be receiving some email. We rely on the mail-enabled PF's
    heavily, but since they aren't a mailbox there is no Junk E-mail folder to check. We do not have the resources to check EOP on a regular basis throughout the day, and the customer would not get an NDR or anything like that.

  • Collect name, Identity, parentpath and PrimarySmtpAddress of all mail enabled public folders.

    Hi,
    I’m trying to collect the name, Identity, parentpath and PrimarySmtpAddress of all mail enabled public folders. PrimarySmtpAddress returns empty whatever I do. If I use this same cmd-line then it works fine.
    What am I doing wrong? Here is the powershell code I'm using:
    Get-PublicFolder \ -Recurse  -resultsize unlimited  | ? {$_.MailEnabled -eq $true} | Select-Object Name,Identity,parentPath, `
    @{label='PrimarySmtpAddress';expression={"$((Get-MailPublicFolder '$_.Identity').PrimarySmtpAddress)"}}
     Thanks in advance!

  • Migrating email-enabled public folders corrupted

    We migrated our public folders from EX 2010 to 2013 but currently face 2 issues with the import:
    a.  All public folders/subfolders became email disabled - about 300 + folders
    b. More importantly there is a mismatch between folder name and assigned smtp addess.
    For example imported folder name is qa1  smtp associated with the folder is [email protected]
    is there a powershell script we can run to fix these issues ?

    Hi,
    A. If you use serial migration to migrate public folders, then Mail-enabled public folders that are created after a public folder migration is started won't be mail-enabled in the destination organization. You'll need to manually mail-enable
    these public folders manually when the migration is complete. This also applies to public folders that existed prior to migration starting, but were mail-enabled after migration started.
    Refer from
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj150486(v=exchg.150).aspx
    B. After these public folder are enabled, then check these mail-enabled public folders’ SMTP address.
    If they are also mismatched, please check if the emailaddresspolicy is assigned to them with the following command
    Get-MailPuclicFolder “PF path” | fl EmailAddressPolicyEnabled
    If the value is true, then set this value to false and use the following command to correct them (or check email address policy)
    $allPF = Get-MailPublicFolder -Resultsize unlimited
    Foreach ($PF in $allPF)
    {Set-MailPublicFolder -Identity $PF.identity -PrimarySmtpAddress ($PF.alias+’@company.com’)}

    A POP3 account can only download from the Inbox folder. If you want to your folders to synchronize with the mail server, you'll need to configure it as an IMAP account.

  • Why does Local Folders not show up when I install Thunderbird on certain computers?

    I've installed Thunderbird on my computer and it looks normal with "Local Folders" showing up in the left pane. I didn't add an email account, I just installed Thunderbird and an add-on called ImportExport tool and left it with only Local Folders. But when I try to do the same thing and install it on someone else's computer to help them import an .mbox file, when I install Thunderbird on their computer, "Local Folders" is not there. The left pane is just completely blank. And it looks like I can't import an .mbox file without it being there. I tried installing it on another laptop too and the same thing happened with no Local Folders. Why is "Local Folders" not showing up for these other two computers?

    I circumvented the problem by copying the c:\users\username\appdata\local\thunderbird folder and the c:\users\username\appdata\roaming\thunderbird folder from my working PC to the nonworking computers, and Local Folders appeared in Thunderbird on those computers. It seems like these files aren't being generated properly on installation.
    I tried uninstalling Thunderbird from my working PC and reinstalling it again to see what would happen (after also deleting those two appdata folders so that fresh ones would be created), and this time Local Folders did not appear on my PC as well. I don't think I did anything different during installation either. So I'm not sure why the Local Folders are no longer being generated at installation.
