OL97: Private Items Are Viewable by Non-Outlook Delegates

ID: Q169871

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Outlook 97

SYMPTOMS

Items marked Private in Microsoft Outlook are viewable by a delegate who uses a mail client other than Outlook, such as the Microsoft Exchange client. However, delegates using Outlook cannot view private messages.

CAUSE

This behavior is by design. Outlook items are only private to other Outlook users.

WORKAROUND

Assign only Outlook users as your delegates.
