I've seen a few older postings about this, but none of them have a solution.  We've upgraded to Exchange 2013 and we're using Public Folder rules to forward messages. When we set the forward type to be "Leave message intact", the message never gets forwarded.  The other two options "Standard" and "Insert message as an attachment" work fine.  In Exchange 2007 the "Leave message intact" option worked also.  I've seen some suggestions to use transport rules, but that won't work for what we're trying to do, so I'm wondering if there's another workaround for this issue.

Thanks,

Richard

Hi,

I searched a lot, this issue is a known problem in Exchange 2013. Currently, there is no fix for this issue.

To work around this problem, you can use the following command.

Set-MailPublicFolder "mail enable public folder" -ForwardingAddress "address" -DeliverToMailboxAndForward:$True

Thannks for understanding.

Unfortunately, that's not a sufficient workaround.  We need to forward emails based on different criteria, such as sender, subject, etc.  This will not let us do that.  Can you find out when Microsoft plans to address this issue?

Thanks,

Richard

Any updates on this issue? 

Doesn't seem like it yet. I've had a call open with Microsoft for 34 days now and have been through 5 or 6 different technicians. I stumbled on this post today and brought it to their attention, they seemed unaware it was an issue at all. Running CU7 on the servers that currently host the PF mailboxes so I can confirm the problem is happening at least through that level.

Hopefully we'll finally get some attention on this.  I can't believe others aren't screaming about this.  It's really affecting our ability to filter out emails from our public folders.
