We are running Exchange 5.5 SP4 and Outlook 2000 and we have had some requests to be notified when something is sent to one of our Public Folders. We have had to many users sending announcements to everyone in the department about retirements, Christmas parties, etc. and have asked them to send them to a Public Folder that we have set up for this use. Unfortunately it's use is limited because people do not want to have to go check another folder. We have had them create a shortcut to the folder on their Outlook shortcuts bar but this doesn't seem to be helpful enough for them. Is there a way to have users get notified if a new message is sent to the Public Folder? OR When first opening Outlook is there a way to have it initially open up automatically to the Public Folder instead of a folder in their mailbox? I couldn't find a way to do either one of these things. I appreciate any help/ideas. Thanks.
