Creating a New Public Folder

After you create a public folder hierarchy, you can create the folders and subfolders to hold content.

You can create public folders using either Exchange System Manager or a client, such as Outlook or Outlook Web Access. In Exchange System Manager, the New Public Folder command is available on the Action menu for public folders and public folder trees. In Outlook and Outlook Web Access, the New Folder command is available on the context menu for the Public Folder node (in Outlook, the node is named All Public Folders) and all folders below that node. When you create a new folder, the only attribute that you must supply is the folder name. After the folder has been created, you can mail-enable it and configure other folder properties.
