Localized Messenger Express does not merge some of the folders created by Outlook Express.

It is sometimes desired that the default “Sent” folder in Messenger Express be replaced by the “Sent Items” folder created by Outlook Express, hence all the messages sent by both client are copied to the “Sent Items” folder. This does not work with Japanese localization.

Workaround:

  1. Edit Japanese i18n.js to match Outlook Express’ “Sent Items” translation.

    				  i18n[’sent folder IE’] = ’soushinzumiaitemu’ 
    				  fldr[’Sent Items’] = ’soushinzumiaitemu’
    				  
  2. End users must log onto Messaging Server using Outlook Express first.
