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 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 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.

Windows Live & Yahoo Plus mail folders not showing in Mail

I use 4 different mail services. For each email address I have, I created custom folders where i get filtered messages. For instance I receive facebook update mails in a separate folder I created in my Windows Live mail. Same goes for different addresses, different folders. This helps me keep things organized and fairly simple.
Now, inside Apple Mail, in the left column, Gmail and AOL have created sort of a secondary extended mailbox that contain all the custom folders I created on the provider's webpage.
On the other hand, Yahoo Plus and Windows Live didn't get as lucky, and apart from the fact that it took me quite a while to realize I'm missing quite a lot of mail, I had to give up all my filters on Yahoo and Live so that all messages get delivered in the main inbox and successfully forwarded to Apple Mail.
Question is :
Does anyone know why am I not getting the folders in Apple Mail ? Or how to set up either the mail options or the Apple Mail to make that happen and work like the other two ?

Very strange. When I reopen mail it sees all mailboxes for a few seconds, then refreshes (I guess) and half of them disappear. When I create or delete a mailbox all mailboxes show. I am forced to either create or delete a mailbox on each restart of mail. (only osx 10.3.9 mail client, not clients on linux or windows.)
baffling me totally

Mail in Gmail Inbox not showing in Mail Inbox

I have about 1000 messages in my Gmail Inbox (viewed through Safari as well as my Mailbox ios app). However, Mail Inbox (on both Mavericks and ios) show about a disengagement most recent messages. Accounts are configured for IMAP.
Any suggestion why the discrepancy and how to correct?
Thanks.

IPhone e-mail reply often does not show in Mail on desktop.

This is a problem that I have been experiencing for a long time, at least over a year.
On my iPhone 4 and 4S and Mac's, I use an iCloud (mac.com / me.com) e-mail and a business e-mail, both IMAP accounts. When I send a reply to a business e-mail, and I try to look it up later on in Mail on my Mac, the little reply-arrow shows but I get a error message. Mail cannot find the replied message and suggest that I could have deleted it. No such thing!has a negative
Why does it happen (this way my business e-mail history on the desktop is incomplete) and how can the problem be solved? Anybody?

Who is your email provider? (for the business account)
Do you have access to Web-mail for your busuness account? Are the messages present on the server?
What did your IT department say about it?

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!

Exchange 2007 not showing all mails

There are a lot of mails within folder not shown within apple mai! I connect with the Exchange 2007 setting and it just does not sync well. I tried Exchange IMAP which works, but lead to different problem like having a separate 'Sent' folder!
If I check those folders with OWA ord Outlook I'v got hundrets of mails. Even my iPhone shows all mails! But Apple Mail doesn't.
The Syncing of Exchange 2007 with Mail is broken! We are three people working with it (all software developers) and there are so many problems...
i.e. renaming folders if you have the option 'keep mails and attachments' set and several people are using the same account for archiving mails within project folders...

I removed now the whole mail profile (the folder with finder). I added the account again and still I'v got folders which just show mails up to december 2009. That's **** for us.
I have no way of 'resyncing' the folder...

How can I pick and choose what IMAP folders are show in Mail?...

I am using IMAP and it works fine. Except "Sent" messages are saving on the server to "Send Messages" however I cannot see it on the list of IMAP folders in Mail. I see other folders, Save, etc. ones I created, just can't make the folder on the server show up in Mail.
If I go into the "Account Info" window in Mail, it does not show it either. Even though it is on the server and Mail is saving sent messages to it as it should.
Any ideas? How can I pick and choose what IMAP folders are show in Mail?
Thanks
Frank

Yes it is using the sent mailbox but just does not show it. MS Mail on Vista has a "show/hide" IMAP folder screen, I wish Mac Mail has this..would be perfect.
I was thinking about deleting the account, and adding it, that would reset it I am sure. However I have my mail set to keep a copy locally for off-line viewing (option in preferences under Account) and I get the sense that if I delete the IMAP account and add it, it will download a copy of each piece of mail (for example my inbox) again and I will have two of everything. Does this make sense? Do you think this will happen?

TS3276 I created a new mailbox in mail, but it does not show up in my list

I created a new mailbox in mail, but it does not show up in my list of mailboxes. Now I cannot change it or delete it. I keep getting an error message that I must resolve conflicts, but it won't let me change anything. Can you help me fix this?

Found it, thanks to the answer Vixen-of-Venus gave - thanks.
