cannot delete calendar items, even with delete permission

Hello,

we have applied the following GPO Setting on per User basis:
Store deleted items in owner's mailbox instead of delegate's Mailbox

As we moved from Lotus Notes to Outlook and  are using some shared Mailbox, this option is a must have for us.

The negative part: A User that want's to share his calendar with someone else and gives delete permission (for example publishing Editor)

cannot delete items. If the Users gives "author" permission on his own "deleted items" Folder in his Mailbox, it's working.

When you know it, it seems logically, but uncomfortable for the user.

Is there another way to work around the issue, for example set the author automatically when applying delete permission on calendar items, if the mentioned GPO is applied.

It think this might be a good patch for Outlook :-)

Hi,

Just as you mentioned, it is logical and it's the expected behavior. This issue occurs because the Deleted Items folder is not granted permissions when delegates are set in Outlook. There is no way to automatically set the author when applying delete permission on calendar items. If it's an unwanted item, we can just hold Shift key and delete the calendar item. This will permanently delete the item without moving it to Deleted Items folder. Or, we have to grant the delegate at least author level permissions to the Deleted Items folder of the owner's mailbox in Outlook. See:
