I am using Exchange 2000, and Outlook 2000, XP, and 2003 on my desktops. When I open outlook and go to File>Open>Other User's Folders> I can type the name of any other exchange user in and open their mailbox and read their emails. I have looked at the permissions for the Inbox on several user folders. The only thing liisted is Default - None and Anonomous - None. There are no other explicit permissions. How can I block one user from accessing other mailboxes?
That would indicate that there may be permissions granted on the account as
a whole -- time for the admin to check Active Directory. Look for inherited
permissions in particular.

What specifically am I looking for in AD? I have checked the Exchange server for permission problems, but I cannot see anything obvious.

On the Properties dialog for a user, on the Security tab, you can see who
has access to the mailbox.
