Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You have two servers that are running Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 in the same Exchange organization.�
  • A Microsoft Outlook 2010 user accesses their mailbox on Exchange server�ServerA.
  • The ServerA mailbox user�s mailbox store has the default public folder store configured on the same server, ServerA.
  • You create a public folder on a second Exchange server, ServerB.
  • The user who has the mailbox on�ServerA reads some posted items in the public folder. (The public folder currently exists only on�ServerB.)�
  • The read/unread status of posted items is retained as expected for that user.
In this scenrio, after you add a replica of the public folder to the public folder store of�ServerA, all the items for the user are set incorrectly as unread.

Cause
