Configuring the Exchange Public Folder
The Exchange administrator can create, mail-enable, and set permissions for a public
folder using the Exchange System Manager tool using the following steps:
1. Expand the Administrative Groups hierarchy and the appropriate administrative
group hierarchy to see the Folders hierarchy. Expand Public Folders
to see the folder hierarchy.
2. Right-click the folder where you want to create a new public folder. Click New,
and then click Public Folder. Give the folder a name, and then click OK.
3. In the folder hierarchy, right-click the folder, click All Tasks, and then click Mail
Enable. Exchange creates SMTP and X.400 addresses from the folder name.
4. To manage permissions on the folder, right-click the folder and then click
Properties. On the Permissions tab, click Client permissions. Add the
Windows SharePoint Services application pool account(s) to the list of folder
users with the Reviewer role or Read items permission. Alternatively, grant the
Anonymous user the Read items permission. If you want non-authenticated
users to be able to submit items to the public folder and thus to the document
library, the Anonymous user also needs Create items permission. To manage
which users can post to the folder, add the appropriate security group(s) as
folder users with at least the Contributor role.
Tip To change the e-mail address for a public folder, right-click the folder in
the Exchange System Manager hierarchy and then click Properties. You
can edit or add addresses on the E-mail Addresses tab.
Configuring Windows SharePoint Services
The first step toward enabling this feature is to configure the Windows SharePoint
Services virtual server that hosts the document libraries you want to e-mail-enable.
You must be a local server administrator or a member of the SharePoint administrators
group to follow these steps.
1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then
click SharePoint Central Administration.
2. In the Portal Site and Virtual Server Configuration section, click Configure
virtual server settings.
3. On the Virtual Server List page, click the link for the virtual server you want to
configure.
