Hotfix installation information
After you install this update, the message class of incoming messages to public folders may be changed to IPM.Note (instead of IPM.Post). You can configure this new setting by creating the "Incoming defaults to IPM.Note" registry value.
To have us create the "Incoming defaults to IPM.Note" registry value for you, go to the "
Fix it for me" section. To create the "Incoming defaults to IPM.Note" registry value yourself, go to the "
Let me fix it myself" section.
Fix it for me
To set the "Incoming defaults to IPM.Note" registry value automatically, click the
Fix it
button or link. Click
Run
in the
File Download
dialog box, and then follow the steps in the Fix it wizard.
Note this wizard may be in English only; however, the automatic fix also works for other language versions of Windows.
Note if you are not on the computer that has the problem, save the Fix it solution to a flash drive or a CD and then run it on the computer that has the problem.
Let me fix it myself
To create the "Incoming defaults to IPM.Note" registry value yourself, in the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\<ServerName>\Public-<GUID>
Value name: Incoming defaults to IPM.Note
Value type: DWORD
Value data: 0 or 1 (0 is default value) (0=false)
Important This value name is case-sensitive. The default behavior without the registry key is that incoming messages appear as IPM.Post. If you set the registry value to 0 (zero), the default behavior continues, and incoming messages appear as IPM.Post. If you set the registry value to 1, the behavior changes, and new SMTP mail messages from a non-MAPI source appear as IPM.Note.
To enable this functionality, you must configure these registry settings on all Exchange servers that host public folders. You do not have to configure these registry settings on Exchange servers that do not host public folders. Additionally, you must configure these registry settings for each public folder database on the particular server where you want to enable this functionality.
After you make these registry changes, you must restart the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service to enable this new functionality.
