OWA and Public Folders

[Jay]

Using Exchange Server 2003 as part of SBS 2003, I've set up a public folder
and populated it with corporate conatct information. I'm now in the process
of rolling out Outlook Web Access but can't find a way of accessing the
public contacts folder when creating new emails, only the GAL and contacts
folders. I need to provide OWA to my users with access to all the corporate
contacts, otherwise it's going to be difficult to use. Can anybody advise?
If public folders can't be accessed, can the public folder be replicated to
all the users' contacts folders?

Many thanks

This is probably best asked in
microsoft.public.exchange.clients

OWA only supports the primary contacts folder

If you want to query the public contacts folder, it is a little challenging.

Thanks for your help William, that seems to be the right kind of stuff.
