A reader asked if there was a way to add a column to
display the Message ID in the Inbox view.
Of course
you can, it's an Extended MAPI property and is easily
exposed using a *.CFG. Since it's always easier to do if
someone has a ready-made CFG available, I asked around and
my "resident CFG expert" Outlook MVP Michal Bednarz sent me
a link to a CFG that exposes the Internet Message ID.

Long long ago
at Microsoft there was a project known as LanMan 3.0. One of the
first things a new guy named Jim Allchin did when he joined
Microsoft was to cancel LanMan 3.0. Before joining Microsoft,
Mr. Allchin was responsible for the development of a directory
service known as Banyan Vines. In 1991, when all this was
occurring, there were three network operating system contenders:
Novell, Banyan, and Windows NT.

Over the last few weeks, I've seen several questions that
go something like this: "When I send a meeting invite to
a staff member who has their calendar shared with other
staff members, how do I stop the invite being sent to the
other staff members? I would just like the invite to go to
the recipient, not to everyone who has access to their
calendar."
Although "There are seldom good
technological solutions to behavioral problems", there are
some things you can do in Outlook to reduce problems but it
may not be enough to keep all uninvited staff members from
receiving your meeting requests.
As the sender, you have one option: mark the invitation
private. Click on the lock icon in the Options section of
the ribbon or open the Properties dialog on the File menu
(Office Orb in 2007), then select Private from the
Sensitivity dropdown. However, delegates with permission to
see private items will be able to see it. If the recipient
wants delegates to see their private items, there isn't much
you can do except discuss the problem with the recipient and
their delegates.
If you are the recipient there are
two settings you use to control who gets the meetings
requests. The Tools, Options, Delegates dialog is the first
place to look. The exact options available vary with the
Outlook version, but the option for delegates to receive the
meeting requests should be unselected if you don't want them
to get your meeting requests. Secondly, highlight the
delegates names and click on Permissions, check the setting
for "Delegate receives copies of meeting related messages
sent to me".
It's also possible the invitee is
forwarding the invitation to others. There is little you can
do to prevent this behavioral problem if your site is not
using rights management solutions, other than asking the
recipient not to forward it without your permission.
