Another issue with Public Folders in Outlook 2013
Do a search in a mail enabled Public folder e.g.: from:forumsup@microsoft.com
Let say you get 2 results, one read and one unread. Click on the unread message which changes its status to read. Boom it disappears from the search result. You now only have one message in the search result.
You have to close (X out) the search and search again and you will see two emails again.
Same happens in Public folder contacts.
Lets say you do a search in a Contact public folder for Microsoft and you get two results Mary Smith and John Smith. Open Mary Smith, change the phone number and save. Boom now only John Smith remains in the search result. Mary Smith has disappeared. Only way to get the two results back is by cancelling the search and searching again.
Note:
- It only happens on Outlook 2013
- Running Exchange 2010
- It only happens in Public folders. ( just my luck , we live on Public Folders)
- You know how you can Add form fields by clicking on the Green Cross that says more, we do not have that for Contact folders, because we could not figure out a way to add Fields like Name, Phone number etc. The only fields that seem
to be available are email fields.
We do use To, From, Attachments, Subject and Body fields when we search in Email enabled Public folders.
Now if some MVP is going to say that this by design, I am going to hang myself, so beware.
