SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario.
You delete a copy of a public folder in Microsoft Outlook. However, you notice that the copy of the folder's Active Directory directory services entry still appears. You look for the Active Directory entry for the original folder, but you notice it has been deleted. When you send a message
to the original public folder to check the folder's status, you receive a non-delivery report (NDR)
message. Then, you try to use Exchange System Manager to view the properties of
the original public folder, but you receive the following error message:
The mail proxy for this folder cannot be found. This may
be due to replication delays. The mail enabled pages will not be shown. ID no:
c1038a21
CAUSE
This problem occurs when you copy a public folder from Microsoft Outlook by using an Outlook client computer. The
copy of the public folder may contain a reference to the original folder's Active
Directory entry.
