I am on a network with a MS Exchange Server. Outlook 2003, XP.
I am trying to create a public folder stored on my office computer that will
store distribution lists that anyone in the office can see and use from their
computer. To be clear, what I'm trying to do is create a LOCAL folder (not
on the network) that can be seen by all in our office by granting
permissions, rather than a folder stored on the network Global Address List
that everyone has access to. Here are the directions I am using:
"For a shared address book that people can update without the intervention
of an administrator, you can use the File/New/Folder command in Outlook to
create a public folder to hold Contact items and grant permissions as needed.
Users can add this folder to their Outlook Address Book by checking a box on
the properties for the folder."
The directions do not say where to create this folder. I have tried
creating this folder in my contact folder and in my inbox. I am checking
"Folder Visible" in the properties box of the new folder, and specifying
someone on the network to have permission to "Create," and "Read," and
"Folder Visible" is checked. However, all that comes up in their Outlook is
my inbox or my contacts folder, not the folder that I want to be a public
folder.
Ideas?
