  They're in some group that's inherited the "Receive As" permission. It

  won't be "Authenticated Users" or "Everyone". Use ADSIEdit and start

  looking at the permission. Begin at the database(es) and work your way

  towards the top of the Exchange hierarchy until you find a group that

  has the "Receive As" permission and it's not an inherited permission.

  Hi Patrick,

  Please check Full Access Permission of other user who was able to be open in this way.

  And also run cmdlet below:

  Get-MailboxFolderPermission |FL

  Hope it is helpful.
