-----Original Message----- From: Yanek Korff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 13, 2002 1:26 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Public Folders & Mailing Lists As with many companies, we have a number of users who all subscribe to similar mailing lists. I'd like to bring some of these lists under one umbrella by subscribing public folders to the lists instead of the individual users. This is a reccomended strategy, correct? I seem to remember reading about it on this list a while back. Several questions, however: 1. Where can I get more information about setting this up? Archives, FAQ 2. If the folders are subscribed, do the users need to subscribe anyway to post to those lists? Yes. The folder collects the mail; people post as themselves. The PF subs with some sort of "get the mail" option; the people sub as "no mail". 3. Is there no way to have a (#) printed next to public folders for new messages? But of course. Right click the PF, choose Add to Outlook bar. Set your view to Unread messages. The number in parens is the number of messages you personally have not read. Your view is your view. 4. What are the real benefits to this approach? You already know. 5. Anything else I should know? I set mine to have an age limit of about 6 months so they never get out of hand. If I see something go by that I want, I put it in my Exchange (or whatever) PST for posterity. -Yanek. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
