XCLN: Read Notifications Received over an X.400 Connection Do Not Show Up on the Outlook Tracking Tab

When you receive a Read/Not Read Notification (RN/NRN) over an X.400 connection (no Exchange Server-specific settings), it does not show up on the Tracking tab of the sent message in Outlook.

Outlook uses the PR_REPORT_TAG property to correlate the RN/NRN with the original sent message in the Sent Items folder. This property is not set when the RN/NRN is processed by the information store. As result, Outlook cannot find the original message to add the information to the Tracking tab.

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server 5.5. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: The following files are available for download from the Microsoft Download Center:

NOTE: When you start this version of the information store, the information store databases are automatically upgraded to a new format. After the databases have been upgraded, you can restore an earlier version of the Store.exe file on the server, but only if it is version 5.5.2651.32 or later. If you restore a Store.exe file earlier than version 5.5.2651.32 after the database has been upgraded, you are no longer able to start the information store.
