a basic question about mailbox languages

Yes, i know these settings.

But let's create an example:

[PS] C:\temp>Get-Mailbox "testuser" |fl languages

Languages : {}
[PS] C:\temp>

[PS] C:\temp>Get-MailboxRegionalConfiguration "testuser" |fl language
Language :
[PS] C:\temp>                                                                


So you see the language settings have not been configured for the mailbox.

In this case... let's say swedish user is sending email to testuser who have autoreply feature configured on the mailbox. The swedish sender will get autoreply message which subject is in finnish language.

The point is:

i want to be sure that if the

-mailbox language is not configured for the mailbox some reason

and

- User have autoreply message configured on the mailbox

-> The subject of the autoreply message would always be in english. Not in finnish language, what is the case in my environment.


But i don't know how Exchange resolve the language in this case?

Hello

I haven't been able to find an answer from internet to a problem concerning the languege of the subject in autoreply email. It should be a simple and easy question to answer.

I know that the default language of the mailbox is the decider of the subject's language (get/set-mailbox identity -languages) but if there is no language setting set on the mailbox then what is the decider of the language then? Is it Exchange Server's operating system's regional setting and if it is then what exactly is the setting?

I have a multilanguage environment and if the language is not set on the mailbox then the subject's language is in Finnish.

Hi,

For your question, please understand that the language of the OOF message is based on the MAPI property PR_MESSAGE_LOCALE_ID of the initial (send-out) message. PR_MESSAGE_LOCALE_ID is derived from the language ID of the mailbox which receives the OOF message. The Exchange store sets the language of the OOF to the System Default Locale of the Exchange Server when PR_MESSAGE_LOCALE_ID is missing at the initial message.

To incur this issue, please first check whether the Regional and Language settings is finnish language.
If you want the OOF message language always be in English, you can run below:
Get-Mailbox | Set-Mailbox -languages en-US

Here's an blog about Language setup for a mailbox with Exchange Server 2007, please refer to:
