Article: Q224174
Product(s): Microsoft Exchange
Version(s): winnt:5.5
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): exc55 EXC55SP3Fix

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

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


SYMPTOMS
========

In the Microsoft Exchange Server Administrator program, under Mailbox Resources,
you can check the size of a mailbox. If a mailbox exceeds 2 GB in size, the
Exchange Server Administrator program shows the size as being 2 GB. However, the
"Total no. Items" column correctly reflects the number of messages in the
mailbox.

CAUSE
=====

The Exchange Server information store does not report the correct size of the
mailbox back to the Exchange Server Administrator program when it exceeds 2 GB.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Exchange Server
version 5.5. For additional information, please see the following article in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base:
