Email messages in the Sent Items folder have the same PR_INTERNET_MESSAGE_ID property in an Exchange environment

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenarios in a Microsoft Exchange Server 2013 or Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 environment:

Scenario 1

  • You create an email message and save the email message as an Outlook Template (.oft) file in Microsoft Outlook.
  • You open the .oft file, you generate an email message, and then you send the email message.
  • You open the .oft file, you generate another email message, and then you send the email message.

Scenario 2

  • You send an email message in Outlook.
  • You open the email message in the Sent Items folder, and then you resend the email message.

Scenario 3

  • You create an email message and save the email message in the Drafts folder.
  • You copy and paste the email message into a folder in Outlook.
  • You send both email messages.

In these scenarios, the two email messages in the Sent Items folder of the mailbox have the same PR_INTERNET_MESSAGE_ID property in the Microsoft Exchange Server MPAI Editor (MFCMAPI). Additionally, the second email message that you send is not delivered to recipients, and you do not receive a non-delivery report (NDR).
