I have a user who is leaving the company who has gone in and forwarded ALL messages in the public folders to which she has access to an outside email account. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out HOW she did this. Its over 3000 messages, so it was obviously done in batch. Each PF post was forwarded as a separate email.She is not an admin for the folders. Can anyone shed any light on how this might have been accomplished, so that I might address the issue that she was able to do this? Exchange 2007 - using Outlook 2007 clients and OWA.

Hi, He either might have enabled "Forwarding" on his account , which u can check in Exch Management Shell using following command: Get-Mailbox EmailAdddressOfYourUserHere | FL ForwardingAddress if this command show you email address of mail enabled public folder then you can disable this forwarding: Set-Mailbox EmailAdddressOfYourUserHere -ForwardingAddress $null OR he might have created a transport rule on HUB server to direct his emails to pf.

Hi, Please run get-mailpublicfolder -identity publicfolder |fl command, then check the ForwardingAddress. Thanks Allen

No forwarding address in either commands Laeeq and Allen. Just to clarify - user forwarded mails from public folders to another email address, not TO PF. I know its possible to forward PF items one by one, but some how, for each post, a single email was generated.

Hi, Was any rule created on the client side? Thanks Allen
