Hi Matt,

Thanks for your update.

I am sorry for the delayed response due to weekend. Please understand that

greatly appreciated!

I am glad to know that information is useful to you. Those features (email
disclaimer) are based on Exchange server technical structure. SBS server is
network integration solution that includes Windows server, Exchange server,
Sharepoint server, SQL server and so on, all features are based on those
components but himself.

You can take a look at the following articles regarding to email disclaimer:

Hi Jenny,

Thank you SO much for the time you've spent over this post it is very much
appreciated - may a cyber bottle of what ever's your fancy come flying
over
to you this weekend

Thanks a again
Matt

P.S. Just an obervation, but have you noticed the massively increased
level
of questions since 4.5 I can't help thinking Microsoft has taken a bit of
a
worng turn with some of it's latest offerings it just seems SBS have
become
too complicated. For example - An email disclaimer in 5.5 ther was just a
Dll
to add now we have to learn hoe to write scripts or purchase 3rd party
software.
I feel MS has lost sight of it's market sector for this product - added
functionality at the expense of usability (i still can't find my way
around
exchange2003 I could in 5.5)

Hi Matt,

Thanks for your update. I am glad to know that information is useful to
you.

Since the public folder is used frequently for your customer, I would
like
introduce the following methods for your reference.

Create a shortcut in Desktop
-----------------------
We can manually drag the shortcut for the specific Public Folder to
Desktop
as below.

(1) Open Outlook 2003.
(2) Resize your Outlook Screen so that you can see your Desktop in the
Background.
(3) Highlight the specific Public Folder from the Folder List, hold the
right mouse Button Down and drag it to the Windows Desktop.
(4) When you release the Mouse Button, you will get the Options of Copy
Here, Move Here or create Active Desktop shortcut here.
(5) Select Copy Here. The Desktop shortcut for the specific Public
Folder
will be created now.

Start Outlook with switch to directly locate a public folder
-----------------------
We can use the following switch to open Outlook with a public folder:

(1) Click Start, and then click Run
(2) Type "Outlook://Public Folders/All Public Folders/<public folder
name>"
and click OK. (Without quotation marks but there is a space in front of
"/")

For more information, you can refer to the following Microsoft KB
article
which also applies to Outlook 2003:

OL2000: Using Hyperlinks to Access Outlook Folders and Items
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=225007

To integrate public folder and the Sharepoint site, you can configure
homepage of the public folder. To do this:

(1) Right-click on the one public folder name that is selected and
choose
Properties.
(2) Click the Home Page tab, input the sharepoint web site URL to link
user
to related sharepoint document library list. Then click OK to complete
the
process.
(3) Then restart Outlook.

And also we create a mail enabled document library in the Sharepoint
site,
it can archive all the attachments of the emails in the specific public
folder. For more detail information and detail steps, please take a look
at
the following article:

Configuring E-Mail-Enabled Document Libraries

http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/wss/2/all/adminguide/en-us/
stse15.mspx

More information:

E-mail message attachments are not uploaded to the document library in
your
SharePoint Services virtual server
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823569

For further question regarding to the Sharepoint question, you also can
post your question in our Sharepoint newsgroup. The reason why we
recommend
posting appropriately is you will get the most dedicated pool of
respondents, and other partners who the newsgroups regularly can either
share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Also,
this
is to make sure that the responders can better track the problem Thank
you
for your understanding.

You can visit the following link to sharepoint newsgroup:

Hope above information helps!

Have a nice weekend!

Hi Jenny,

Thank you very much for the prompt reply you answer were very helpful
(and
frustrating!!!!!)

As intimated in my question I did apply the reg fix you stated BUT I
didn't
restart Exchange after applying - again thanks for that

The reply symbol on PF is a bit of a pain - I'm currently on an
installation
were the users need to be familiar with whats going on (so emails can't
be
deleted aafter replying to) as well as which one have been dealt with.
I
suppose I could set up another folder in which they could move the ones
which
had been replied to - it;'s just a bit messy

You caveat to the Outlook today question ia an acceptable option is
therw
a
way to set this type of thing up from the server so that I don't have
to
go
around avery machine and every user. Like most companes, my customer is
heavily dependant of PFs

Additional Questions

Can PFs be incorporated into a Sharepoint workspace (or similar) .

In Office 2000 using PFs was easy but in Office 2003 Microsoft is
making
it
difficult to access them easily which is daft because it's probably one
of
the main reasons companies get Exchange

Hi Matt,

Thanks for using the SBS newsgroup.

Q1) Mail icon wrong in public folder apllied the registry fix
(IPM.NOTE
I
think it was) but I had to enter the DWORD key manually it wasn't
already
there and when I do change btween '1' and '0' nothing changes with
incoming
E-mail icons

A: Have you applied the update stated in KB 832492? Is the registry
key
as
below:



HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIS\<ServerNam
e>\Public-<GUID>
Value name: Incoming defaults to IPM.Note
Value type: DWORD
Value data: 0 or 1 (0 is default value) (0=false)

*Important: This value name is case-sensitive. The default behavior
without
the registry key is that incoming messages appear as IPM.Post. If you
set
the registry value to 0 (zero), the default behavior continues, and
incoming messages appear as IPM.Post. If you set the registry value
to
1,
the behavior changes, and new SMTP mail messages from a non-MAPI
source
appear as IPM.Note.

To enable this functionality, you must configure these registry
settings
on
all Exchange servers that host public folders. You do not have to
configure
these registry settings on Exchange servers that do not host public
folders. Additionally, you must configure these registry settings for
each
public folder database on the particular server where you want to
enable
this functionality.

After you make these registry changes, you must restart the Microsoft
Exchange Information Store service to enable this new functionality.

For detail information please take a look at the following article:

Update to permit the caching of incoming SMTP messages as IPM.Note in
Exchange Server 2003
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=832492

Q2) Can you configure PF'ers to display the replied icon like it does
in
normal personal inbox

A: I am afraid that we can not configure like that since public
folders
are
saved on the Exchange server and all users can access them. When we
access
the public folders, we will be linked to server to read the messages.

Q3) Can a PF be made to show in 'OUTLOOK TODAY'

A: Yes, we can. We can add the public folders we frequently access
into
Outlook Today. To do so:

(1) In Outlook Today (the root of our Exchange mailbox), click
Customize
Outlook Today.
(2) Click the Choose Folders button in the Message section.
(3) Locate a public folder and click to select the check box in the
front
of it. Click OK.
(4) Click Save Changes.
(5) In this way, the public folder we select in step 3 will show up
under
Messages in Outlook Today. We can click the link and quickly locate
the
folder.

Q4) Can a PF be made to show the number of unread entries after the
folder
like a users normal inbox and have a popup message appear on screen.

A: I am afraid that it is can not set like that. The reason is the
same
with answer 2. However, you can add some specific public folders that
are
frequently accessed to the Favorites folder under the node of the
Public
folder. In this way, these folders under Favorites folder will build
up
a
mirror on local workstation. And the number of unread entries will be
showed as inbox folder.

2de2-839b-4ee9-a4f4-f8cd5e0d1590.mspx

Additionally if you want to access the public folder frequently, you
can
create a shortcut in Outlook. To do this:

(1) Click Tools menu -> Options -> Other tab -> Navigation Pane
Options.
(2) Select Shortcuts check box.
(3) Locate Shortcut in the Navigation Pane, and we can create a new
shortcut for a public folder there.

Hope above information helps! I am happy to be of assistance to you
and
look forward to your reply.

Have a nice day!

Jenny Wu
