    Hi All,

     

    FYI, 

     

    Microsoft has stated that this is know issue and working to fix it. i don't know why it's taking more than 6 month to fix it.

     

    regard,

    The inability to search shared mailboxes in Outlook Classic is a recognized issue related to Microsoft’s Server Assisted Search functionality. Microsoft has formally acknowledged the problem and addressed it in recent Outlook releases, beginning with Version 2510 (Build 19328.20000) and later.

      Hi,

       

      We are on version 2512 and still having the issue. We have a ticket open with Microsoft and are waiting for their reply. i hope this will be fixed in the 2601 version.

       

      thanks,
