Mismatched Mailbox Madness

So now that I resolved the issue about the bookmark not being valid, I made may way carefully (and rather suddenly) to the next error: “The name could not be matched to a name in the address list“. I swear there are days that I wish I had never even heard the name of Microsoft. Regardless, I have, so off I went again. This search was rather quick.

In fact, for perhaps the first time ever (when dealing with Microsoft products, anyway), I found my answer on the very first result. Sounded like it was what was happening, so I embarked on the rebuilding process. I was waiting for the event log to show me a notification or something when it finished, but I still haven’t seen that, so I decided to give it a try.

Lo and behold, it worked. I was able to verify the mailbox and configure a mail session so that I could actually connect to the server in native Exchange mode (RPC). I don’t even want to think about trying RPC over HTTP. Actually, that’s not true. I’d like to do so. But not today. I think I’ve had enough of Microsoft for one day.
