Can't remove the other users' mailboxes from my Outlook 2010  - Resolution with screenshots

Q: Sometimes, I use Add-MailboxFolderPermission command to delegate the permission to me permissions to access other mailboxes.. Now, I have removed the permissions and also want to remove the other users' mailboxes from my Outlook 2010. But I can't. If I try, I get this message: "The group of folder is associated with an e-mail account as shown below.

However, I don't see those mailboxes in Account Settings.

 

A: This issue might cause by the Auto-Mapping feature. When you have been granted “Full Access” permissions on the mailbox, the additional mailbox is being added automatically via the “Auto-Mapping” feature of Exchange. In Exchange 2010 SP1, Office Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 clients can automatically map to any mailbox to which a user has Full Access permissions. If a user is granted Full Access permissions to another user's mailbox or to a shared mailbox, Outlook, through Autodiscover, automatically loads all mailboxes to which the user has full access. Auto-mapped mailboxes are not exposed in your account or additional mailbox list. So you are unable to find it on your account settings.

At this stage, we can resolve this issue by turning-off the Auto-mapping feature. However, since the Auto-Mapping feature can only be turned-off after 2010 SP2. Could you suggest to schedule a non-production time to update your Exchange server? If your boss doesn’t want to anything on your Exchange server, there might be no other solution. In addition, if your organization will migrate to Exchange Hybird, you still need to update to Exchange 2010 SP3.

Action Plan:

=======================

1.Please run below command in Exchange Management Shell:

Add-MailboxPermission -Identity <shared mailbox alias> -User <your mailbox alias> -AccessRights FullAccess -InheritanceType All -Automapping $false
 
Note: Once this property has been removed, the additional mailbox will automatically remove itself within some minutes after you restart Outlook.
 
2.After restarting Outlook, I find that the addition mailbox has been removed.  
 
3.At the meanwhile, in the following time, If our users want to re-add/remove the mailbox again, there is no need for Exchange administrator to reset the auto-mapping attribute. We can re-add the additional mailbox via the traditional way:
(1). Please locate to below path: File-> Account Settings-> Account Settings…-> double click on your Exchange account-> button: More Settings…-> tab Advanced-> button: Add…
(2) Then you will find the addition mailbox appears again, 
(3) If you would like to remove it, we just repeat the above steps to remove it under Advanced Tab now.
