Article ID: 190865

APPLIES TO

This article was previously published under Q190865

SYMPTOMS

When you set up a delegate for your mailbox, you may receive the following error message:
Unable to forward meeting-related messages. Choose Inbox Assistant or Rules Wizard, remove some rules, and try again. Unable to modify folder rule.
This message occurs if you uncheck the option "Delegate receives copies of meeting-related messages sent to me" in the Delegate Permissions or if you select "None" in the Calendar selection option box for Delegate Permissions.

CAUSE

This is by design. The message occurs because no delegates have been designated to receive meeting-related messages.

This message will only occur under the following conditions:

  • No rules of any kind have been created for the users mailbox.
  • The checkbox "Delegate receives copies of meeting-related messages sent to me" must be unchecked for all delegates.
  • The user then selects OK or Apply after unchecking the above option.

WORKAROUND

To avoid this message, you can create at least one rule for your mailbox or select a delegate to receive meeting-related messages.
