How do I access Exchange public folders fromEntourage 2008 using AppleScript

Email Client: Exchange

Hi

We store a contacts folder in an Exchange 2003 Public Folder. This is visible in Entourage 2008.

In Entourage 2004, you could list subfolders in the Public Folder if you added the subfolder to Favorites. In Entourage 2008, this does not seem to work.

I'd like to access each contact in the contacts folder in our Public Folder from AppleScript. How do I do this?

(Ultimately, I'd like to synchronise a personal contacts list with the public contacts list.)

Thanks

Praful

This works the same in Entourage 2008 although the name of the Favorites
folder has changed to Subscribed Public Folders.

What happens when you add a public folder to the Subscribed Public
Folders folder?

Thanks Bill. Subscribing to the public folder did the trick. I can iterate through the public contacts folder now.
