Exchange 2000 Public Folders...Can't see them?

[Scott]

We have never been able to get our Macintosh systems to see our Exchange 2000 Public folders. We've tried the newest version of Outlook for Mac's (newest as of a few months ago) and tried Entourage with the "enhancements" download but yet we still can't get this working. Is there a configuration change I need to make on the server for this? Our windows clients have never had a problem seeing these or using them but our organization can't move to using these calendars, forms, contacts etc in the public folders until all systems here can see those folders.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

It's the same old one :-\

You mean you cannot even get the public folders through Outlook 2001 ???
That would be the first time I see that :-\
I would suggest to double-check the settings, that's usually the
problem. Beside that...

If the users get their mails, then it means the Exchange server is setup
properly, if they can synchronize their address books and calendarsm
then the free/busy server is OK too. Is that the case ???

there is no free/busy server.

They can see the public folders, but not whats inside them. As far as the
mail client is concerned it's just a typical email folder regardless of
whats actually in it.

Hi Scott,

mail client is concerned it's just a typical email folder regardless of
whats actually in it.

I *think* that's because the free/busy server is not defined. Since I
don't ever use the public folders, I'm not 100% sure though.

Try setup the free busy server as the webmail server/public (eg
www.mywebmailserver.com/public).
