Hi
When creating a mailbox in exchange server some of my users get an english "mailbox" and not the swedish "postlåda" as I want (and need). This seems to be a known problem when you have activity in the mailbox before the user logs in but how do I solve the problem. In exchange server, is there a way to change locales/regional settings on a single mailbox?

As far as I know the language of the mailbox is defined by the language of the outlook client wich opens the mailbox first.
So if you want a swedish mailbox you have to make sure the first time the mailbox is opened it's opened with a swedish outlook.
The only way of changing the language of the mailbox is to delete the mailbox en recreate it.

Success
 
if you have Outlook 2002 clients you can run a command line switch to rename the default folders to the language of the client. To do this, click Start, click Run, and then type Outlook.exe /resetfoldernames. Outlook will start normally and the default folder names will be in the language of the client.
