Unable to Delete Emails from User Shared Folders in Kerio Connect

Overview

Some users of Kerio Connect may encounter an issue where they are unable to delete emails from shared folders, despite having the necessary permissions (account delegation or edit/owner rights over the shared folder). 

The error encountered is Server error. Failed to move item to folder %2. You don't have rights to do this.

Solution

A temporary workaround has been found which involves sharing the Deleted Items folder. Here are the steps to follow, based on Sharing Email Folders in Kerio Connect Client/Webmail:

  1. Have the sharing user access their Kerio Connect account.
  2. Navigate to the Deleted Items folder and select Sharing
  3. Click the plus sign to add a new Sharing Target

This should allow you to delete emails from the shared folders. Please note that this is a temporary solution until a more permanent fix is provided.
