Article: Q173808

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Exchange Server, version 5.5 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Administrators of Microsoft Exchange version 5.5 will find when they grant
anonymous access to a mailbox with a specific account name and then revoke that
same access, users will still not be able to log on to the specified mailbox.

CAUSE
=====

This behavior is by design. The configuration is indicating that you should use
account X as the anonymous account. Anonymous access for account X has been
denied. The error received reflects this.

WORKAROUND
==========

The workaround is to specify another name for the anonymous account.
