Q:
Outlook 2007, how to lock editing a received message.
Dear all,
We have a legal issue using outlook 2007 and exchange server 2007:
Open a received message, select Other Actions then Edit Message, you will be then able to modify and save the message, the only trace would be that the properties of the message have change in the Modified (date).
This is a legal issue for us, so the question is:
How to lock the edit Message option on a received message and by certain that it is not possible to change such received message?
Thank you in advance.

Identrust, ORC, and Versign offer these kinds of keys but they are not cheap.
If it were a legal issue, maybe it would be possible for Exchange to keep a copy of the received messages in initial form as a comparison point should someone be suspected of editing an email.
Good luck.

You can use the Journaling feature of Microsoft Exchange to get a copy of every incoming and outgoing message prior to the message being delivered to the recipient's mailbox. This additional copy of the message is stored separately so the user cannot access it or make changes to it. This requires a lot of storage but it will provide the legal protection that you're looking for.
