Outlook Public Folders

I am using Exchange 2003 and Outlook 2003 on the clients. I created
public folders this year for different groups. There is an All Faculty
and Staff one, a Document one, a Middle School one, etc.

Three times now, someone has sent an email (and of course all three were
personal in nature), and they ended up in one of the public folders.
Twice it ended up in All Fac Staff and once in Documents. Both these
folders have permission for everyone to use.

When I looked at the messages, they were addressed only to the people
they were supposed to have gone to, not to the Documents or AllFacStaff
folder. The one today was actually sent by someone that did not even
have Documents up in her favorites area (thinking they accidentally
clicked on it) but it somehow ended up in Documents.=20

I did make these mailboxes addresses, so you can either click on the
mailbox and say Post, or type a message and select the address called
Documents to send a message to this folder. =20

Any idea why this is happening and of course, how to stop it? In
general, the public folders are working great other than this pretty
major issue.
