Re: Public Folders Exchange 2003 and iPhones

Thanks...I didn't know that...

How come then, when a teacher deletes an email with a 5 meg attachment
that was sent to all, their mail folder shows a reduction of 5 megs? Is
there some setting I need to set up to ensure it is using Single
Instance Storage?

Thanks,=20

Exchange 2003 uses single instance storage, so that 5MB attachment is
only stored once in the database.

The link above is for 2007, but the background provided on SIS is
applicable to 2003 as well. Be aware, SIS is gone in Exchange 2010, but
also be aware the Public Folders have been deprecated since Exchange
2007, and Microsoft does not recommend deploying any new solutions based
on them.

To actually answer your question, there is no native way to view Public
Folders on any mobile device that I'm aware of. A few companies make
third-party products to do so, but I believe they all require Exchange
2007 or newer.

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
