Some accounts had to be imported from an mdaemon system (running off POP3). For this we copied what they were using as public folders into a mailbox (as advised by our exchange providers). I then wanted to drag and drop this folder from mailbox to public folders but couldn't as I didn't have enough permissions. I had to drag and drop every single sub-folder one by one. According to our provider, they don't have an exchange login that would have sufficient permissions to achieve this. I find this fantastically hard to believe. Now I find that after dragging all the folders the permissions are wrong and I have to change them all, one by one, over a SSL connection. Again, they apparently don't have the facility to bulk change the permissions on exchange. Something else I find fantastically hard to believe.

I have to admit I don't know anything about managed exchange servers. The places I've worked we always hosted our own servers in house but this sounds a little suspicious to me. They don't have Global admin rights they can't give you proper admin rights. It makes me think they are using a third party to host the exchange servers then they are leasing them to you guys. Like I said though it's just a hunch.
