Setting up Alerts for Public Folders

[byrnecharlesa]

We're using Outlook2003 and our users send information to
public folders instead of each user's mailbox due to size
restrictions our campus has placed on mailboxes. What
happens is a new message is posted to the Public Folders
but people don't know that it's there. I want to setup a
rule that sends out a five word message to all the people
who have access to that public folder and place the five
word message in their inbox. I can get as far as
creating the message template and assigning the people to
the "To" field. When I try to save the rule, the system
states "you do not have permission to save this rule". I
am the owner of the public folder. Any ideas on how I
can get this to work? Any suggestions to let people know
there are new messages in the Public Folders?

Have the Exchange administrator grant you Send As permission on the folder.
Also show people how to use Public Folders\Favorites to know when new items
are posted.
