Is it possible to disable desktop alerts and calendar reminders for a secondary Exchange account?
Hi all,
We have a PA who manages someone elses mailbox, and has this secondary mailbox added to Outlook 2010 as a secondary Exchange account within her profile.
This works great for the most part, but I can't find any way to tweak certain settings for each individual mailbox.
For example, the two I'm looking for at the moment, are the way to disable desktop alerts and calendar reminders for the SECONDARY account.
So currently, any mail received by either herself, or her manager pops up the desktop alert, and she also gets the pop-up calendar reminders for appointments and meetings in both her calendar and his.
I'd like to change this so that she receives desktop alerts and calendar reminders for HER mailbox ONLY. I'm thinking this currently isn't possible (maybe some new options in the next version of Outlook or something), but thought I'd post on here and see if anyone knows.
FYI - I have googled this and found 2 suggestions, neither of which work. One was to turn off cached Exchange mode for the secondary mailbox (which a) didn't work and b) stops the indexing of the secondary mailbox which we need), and the other was to create a second actual profile for the other mailbox and change the settings there. As I say, neither worked.
Any other ideas?

Make the primary account as the default one in outlook.

Hi, the primary account is the default already - It's not a matter of switching from one to the other, currently notifications and reminders are received for BOTH the primary and secondary accounts...
Many thanks,

Hi Yobri,
Apologies, I completely forgot I had raised this Q and have not been on EE for some time! I will give this a try, however I'm curious as to why we should first remove the secondary Exchange account? The PA already has full access (via the GrantFullAccess powershell cmdlet).
Can I skip that step and start at the Folder List part?
Cheers,
Pete
