Exchange mailbox default folders not in english

  • 772

When I add new mailbox to Exchange 2010 (SBS 2011), for some reason default folders are in localized language, instead of English. Funny thing is that when we add mailboxes by adding a new user, folders are in English as they should be.

How to get default folders in English (in the first place), and how to rename or update these current folders? Is there a catch to do this from EMS?

Thanks

    Outlook system folders names assigned according to language of Outlook client used for first connection (profile creation). This folders cant be renamed.

    To reset system folders names in English if it created with other language run Outlook with this user profile with /resetfoldernames commandline switch after changing the user interface language to English or installing a different language (English) version of Outlook.
