IPM.Post Send As quandry in Public Folders

[MarkMcG]

We would like the FROM for a reply to a message in a Public Folder to DEFAULT
to the folder address. Now, it defaults to the profile/account that is
sending the message and our users need to manually specify the correct FROM
field. Error prone.

When 1) a user has Send As permissions to a mailbox, and
2) we add the mailbox to their profile and,
3) from the inbox of the OTHER mailbox reply to a message
4) the From field is defaulted to the OTHER mailbox.

We would like the same functionality in the Public Folders.

We have tried to modify the IPM.Post and IPM.Note in the Public folder to
add the folder to the From field but the incoming mail does not take on the
new default message class of the folder. We can't seem to get the From
recipient to stick even in the custom form.

Any ideas? Is there another place to look for this functionality?

Diane,

Great tip, thanks! The demo looks to do what we are asking for.

Has anyone had experience with this product?

Thanks, Mark

I used one of the last beta builds to see how it worked - I was impressed.
They have a trial... it's the best way to see if it meets you needs.
