  • Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Enterprise Edition
  • Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Standard Edition

SYMPTOMS

When you open a message that contains an embedded message by using Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA) over a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection, if you try to save the embedded message to the local hard disk, you receive the following error message:
Internet Explorer cannot download file name from server.

The file could not be written to the cache.
For example, if you right-click the link to the embedded message, and then click Save, you receive the error message.

CAUSE

This issue occurs if the message that you open was composed by using a Microsoft Outlook client or by using an OWA S/MIME client.

WORKAROUND

Method 2: Turn On the "Do Not Save Encrypted Pages to Disk" Option

Turn on the Do not save encrypted pages to disk option in Internet Explorer. To do so:
  1. Start Internet Explorer.
  2. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
  3. Click the Advanced tab, and then under Security, click to select the Do not save encrypted pages to disk check box .
  4. Click Apply, and then click OK.
