SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Exchange client, you can create and apply personal views
to quickly view information in any folder you choose. The personal views
you create in the Exchange client will not automatically be available when
you log on to the Outlook client or the Outlook Web Access client.
CAUSE
The personal view is not stored inside the individual folder, but is stored
as a hidden property in your Exchange Server mailbox. This personal view is
not shown in the Outlook and Outlook Web Access clients.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, you can copy the personal view in the Exchange
client to a folder view, which will then be available when you use the
Outlook client or the Outlook Web Access client.
To copy a personal view to a folder view, perform the following steps:
- Start the Exchange client.
- Select the folder you want to copy your personal view to, such as your
Inbox folder, then from the Tools menu, point to Application Design, and
then click Copy Folder Design.
- In the "Copy design from this folder" dialog box, select the Mailbox
<username>.
- Also, ensure the check box for Forms and Views is selected in the "Copy
design of" dialog box, and then click OK.
- When you are prompted at the "If any folder design conflicts exist the
changes you are copying will take precedence" dialog box, click Yes.
Your personal views are now stored inside your Inbox folder and can be seen
in the Outlook and Outlook Web Access clients.
