Send As + DelegateSentItemsStyle = saved in both mailboxes?

dneuhaeuser

I am using Outlook in Cache Mode with DelegateSentItemsStyle = 1
(HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Preferences)

When "sending as" a shared mailbox, the mail is saved in the sent folders of both the shared mbx as well as the user's mbx.
is this by design or a bug?

I was actually expecting it to be saved only in the shared mbx sent folder.

this description matches for Exchange.
But in Grommunio, as far as I understand, there is no setting "MessageCopyForSentAsEnabled"
and no server-side functionality to save in shared mbx.

In Grommunio there is no setting at all for this.

This is strictly Outlook (in Cache-Mode!) behaviour.

Did you try adding the MessageCopyForSentAsEnabled reg value to see if it makes a difference on your client?

TBF: i don't use cache-mode with grommunio and still waiting for a proper server-side implementation so i never ever tried this second regkey in (real) exchange environments.

"MessageCopyForSentAsEnabled" is no client-side registry setting (AI also tried to tell me this).
This is a parameter setting on Exchange Server Powershell.

Ahh ok, i'm blind.. ctrl-f helps on that page.. well then no there is no way to change it as gromox doesn't know anything about this type of thing.

Is there any news from grommunio for the very old Ticket#81417 you mentioned here?

I just reread what i asked for back then and i only mentioned webmail so thats what we got then /ö\.
But in a later message i also explicitly asked for outlook-online mode and got a reply that the plan was to make it a server-side integration so something like activesync would also be handled the same way as outlook^online.

Anyhow, i reopened it. Lets hope for the best.

Thanks for the information @dneuhaeuser , we will test this soon.
Question: What about deleted items in shared mailboxes? Will it be possible to handle those in the same way?

So far, we have been managing this by applying the following changes for each user (via GPO, manually once during setup, or at login):

reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Preferences" /v DelegateSentItemsStyle  /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Outlook\Options\General" /v DelegateWastebasketStyle /t REG_DWORD /d 4 /f

And what about drafts in shared mailboxes?
