I think a far more significant reason, which applies to organizations that have more than one public folder server, is that when mail is sent to a public folder a connection is made to some arbitrary public store, which then forwards the message to a store that has a replica. So you could end up with a case where the archived data takes two hops. If you have more than one replica of the archive store, then add even more traffic to the mix. In this circumstance, you can see how archiving mail to a public folder could cause substantially more load on your servers.

Smith Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2005 3:45 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Stop users deleting their messages (MSX2003) Posts in public folders are IPM.Post for the message class. Items in a mailbox are, by default, IPM.Note. While there are ways to change the default for public folders, in recent versions of Exchange, you're still in a situation where a conversion is taking place thus affecting the fidelity of the messages. Secondly, moving to a different store is less efficient than staying in the same store. You lose SIS. :-) -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alberto Faccioli Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2005 5:24 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: Stop users deleting their messages (MSX2003) You're right, I found the reference http://support.microsoft.com/kb/843105/en-us However the KB is not clear as to the drawbacks of journaling to a PF. Incomplete journaling or possible problems/instability on the Exchange box? I didn't see either of the two...

Limitation is that +ALL+ the messages will go there, regardless of sender/recipient. B) GFI Mail Essential has rules to copy smtp traffic to a public folder (you can set rules based on senders/recipients). Limitation is that only SMTP traffic will get there, and not the messages internal to the company. (Btw, GFI ME includes also a darn good spam filter.) I know there are other journaling systems around (GFI has one) that copy messages to a SQL database, and I guess with those you can setup high-granularity permissions to access specific messages based on sender/recipient, but if you can live with one of the two above (or both, if you've got enough storage) it's certainly an easier solution for a small organization.

One of the managers however HAD to have access to everyones mailbox, which I did with permissions and mapping all the mailboxes to his Outlook profile, so he can see everything in each users mailbox, etc.. He is still concerned because users can delete messages from their mailboxes, empty the deleted items folder, and the messages are gone (short of restoring from a backup). Is there some possible way, to prevent users from deleting their own messages.. perhaps they can send them to the deleted items folder, but thats it. They cannot empty that folder, and cannot make the messages dissapear themselves? Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.
