SYMPTOMS

After you move a user's mailbox to a different Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 mailbox server, that user experiences the following symptoms:

The mailbox display name appears incorrectly. In this scenario, "Mailbox" does not appear in the mailbox display name. For example, outlook:today (UserName) appears in the folder list.
The order of folders in the folder list appears incorrectly. For example, the Public folders appear at the top of the folder list, and the mailbox folder appears at the bottom of the folder list.

This problem occurs for users whose mailboxes have names that start with any one of the letters from Q to Z. For example, a user experiences this problem when the following conditions are true:

The user's mailbox has a name such as Qname or Uname.
You create a new Outlook profile for the user whose mailbox has been moved.
