Public Folders Exchange 2003 and iPhones

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to get a handle on the amount of email that is piling up on
my Exchange server. I decided to try and get rid of the distribution
lists (to stop the problem of - when a teacher sends out that joke with
5 meg pic attachment to the entire school and it gets duplicated 65
times so all 65 on staff can see it, and then nobody deletes it from
their inbox and to make it even better, a dozen forward it to their
friends and then it is in their sent box too!). =20

I set up public folders, and set permissions. I moved the folders up to
the public area, and all was going along very well...until...the admin,
that can find a problem with anything, tried to access it on her iPhone
and the public folders do not show up. =20

Now, I know she can use the browser interface and access it via web, but
that is pretty time consuming. Does anyone know any tricks to get
public folders on Exchange Server 2003 to show up on the iPhone or other
non-windows phone? (On Windows-based phones, it works fine.)

Thanks,

Renee Ramig
