    Hi,

    I have just setup a new Exchange Server 2016 on site for my client. There is a strange problem. They are using Public Folders.

    I have a couple of PST files to import or copy to the public folder, I use Outlook 2016 for this. When the copying of a 10 GB PST file finishes I check the emails and most of them are containing just nonsense Chinese like characters. I wondered how the same emails looked in the PST file itself but they were fine there. After copying them to the Public folder their input changed to Chinese characters.

    These PST files come from the earlier Exchange Server 2007 Public Folder.

    I already tried the <add key="DisableDetectEncodingFromMetaTag" value="true" /> in the EdgeTransport.exe.config file but that didn't help. We have a couple of Transport Rule but no disclaimer rules.

    Since there is not much of tech support on the internet for Exchange Server 2016, I was wondering if anyone else is facing the same problem and could give a clue on this.

    Regards,
