Chapter Summary

• Public folders must be mail-enabled before they can receive e-mail.

• Public folders can be moved or copied within a public folder tree but not outside of the tree.

• Only the Default public folder tree is available to Outlook users.

• General Purpose public folder trees can be accessed by NNTP and HTTP clients but not by MAPI (Outlook and OWA) clients.

• Client permissions for public folders can be configured in Exchange System Manager, or in Outlook for folders that are in the Default public folder tree.

• Permissions in Exchange System Manager are rights-based, whereas permissions configured in Outlook are roles-based (though they accomplish the same thing).

• A public folder store must be associated with a public folder tree. An unassociated public folder tree cannot be used, even though you can create public folders in it.
