Exchange Mail Setup and Public Folders

V1.01 effected some changes in how the iPhone interacts with an Exchange server. Unfortunately, in my case, they were not positive changes.
In V1.00 the iPhone would create three folders - Inbox, Deleted Items, and Sent Items in the local mailbox. It would ignore most other folders created on the Exchange server such as Calendar, Notes, Spam, and Public folders to name a few.
In V1.01 the iPhone now processes all the folders on the Exchange server. If I have twenty folders on my Exchange account, all those folders appear on my iPhone. Okay, that is acceptable. However ALL Public folders are now being downloaded to the iPhone as well. NOT okay!
I now have hundreds of public folders sitting on my iPhone that I do not want there. After discussing this with some IT guys, the finger seems to be pointing at a broken implementation of IMAP on the iPhone, specifically its inability to define subscriptions - delecting or deselcting folders for populating locally on the iPhone.
I hope this issue can be addressed, and of course true direct push email implemented for Exchange email accounts.

Hi Paul,
I replied to a post from you in another thread. It's easy to miss though, so here's what I said:
"You should tell mail2web that there is an option in Exchange to hide public folders from IMAP clients. I'm an IT manager at a large software company with 50% of our users on Macs. We turned on the option to hide public folders from IMAP clients a while ago, long before the iPhone. It's worked very well and continues to work for iPhone people (like me!).
There was no reason for us to make public folders viewable via IMAP, so hopefully the same will be true for mail2web."
I'm actually really glad that Apple made this change. I want to see most of the folders at the inbox level in Exchange and with the Exchange switch turned on to hide public folders, there's no downside.

Exchange Online Protection and Public Folders

Hi,
We have just been migrated to Exchange Online Protection from FOPE and although users can now manage their own quarantines, they cannot do this for Mail Enabled Public Folders. Is this possible?
Many Thanks

Mail delivery to Public Folders stops when Public Folder database dismounted from old server. Old server to be decommisioned.

I have 2 Exchange 2010 SP3 RU6 servers. All Mailboxes and Public Folders have been moved from the old server to the new one. If I dismount the Public Folder database from the old server, delivery to mail enabled Public Folders stops. I
believe resolving this is the last step before decommissioning this old server and uninstalling Exchange from it.
Before I delete the Public Folder database and/or uninstall Exchange from my old server, what do I need to do to setup routing/transport of email to Public Folders on my new server?
I've used the MoveAllReplicas.PS1 script successfully and believe nothing remains on the old server. Do I simply need to remove all mail enabled Public folders now with the Remove-PublicFolder EMC command? Or is it a background kind of task that
automatically updates after some period of time and then messages just start delivering directly to the new location of my Public Folders?

Hi and thanks for your suggestion, but Get-PublicFolderMoveRequest is an Exchange 2013 command. I first ran the MoveAllReplicas script, probably a month ago. I've also used the RemoveReplicaFromPFRecursive script and
still it says that Replicase still exist within the Public Folder Database that I woul like to remove from my old server to be decommissioned. I've read of other people trying to uninstall Exchange from an old server that have encountered this error,
causing the uninstall to fail.   Get-PublicFolderStatistics -Server "oldserver" | Format-List returns:

Here it shows the size and count are 0 (zero), so I should be good to go. But, I am unable to remove it due to the Replicas Exist error.
Elsewhere, I found a suggestion to clear the checkmark in the OAB 'Distribution' settings regarding Public Folders, but that didn't help. I've also seen posts saying to dismount the Public Folders, rename them and when mounting,
take the option to create a blank or empty Public Folder database. When I did that, the mail enabled Public Folders did not resolve when sending emails. I had to quick mount the saved copy of my Public Folder database.
So, regarding your suggestion, does Disabling and then Enabling mail enabled folders re-associate or register them with the current Public Folder database structure?
One more thing I found is that the get-mailpublicfolder command returns an error stating a folder is corrupt.
WARNING: The object ci.walla-walla.wa.us/Microsoft Exchange System Objects/Library Vacation Calendar has been corrupted, and it's in an inconsistent state. The following validation errors happened:
WARNING: Property expression "Library Vacation Calendar" isn't valid. Valid values are: Strings formed with characters from A to Z (uppercase or lowercase), digits from 0 to 9, !, #, $, %, &, ', *, +, -, /, =, ?, ^, _, `, {, |, } or ~. One
or more periods may be embedded in an alias, but each period should be preceded and followed by at least one of the other characters. Unicode characters from U+00A1 to U+00FF are also valid in an alias, but they will be mapped to a best-fit US-ASCII
string in the e-mail address, which is generated from such an alias.
I don't see anything in the name of the folder, unless it actually has the " character embedded in it. But what is also odd is that I don't have a folder called "Library Vacation Calendar". It may be the remnant of something in the
past of a failed attempt. I do have a folder called VacationCalendar that the Library uses, and have even exported to PST and recreated without any impact to this problem. I do not know how to clear this condition, and assume it is responsible
for the Active Replicas error I get when trying to remove the PF database.

Outlook personal and public folders via Entourage?

I'm the only Mac user in my company and for the most part, this relatively new transition has been seamless. The only tricky part has been with personal and public folders that are currently in Outlook - I can't see them in Entourage. Instead of having an intranet, we have all of our policies, forms, procedures, and general (corporate) information in Public Folders, and then our email accounts are limited and we're instructed to use Personal Folders for any emails that need to be kept longer than 60 days.
Has anyone else run into this, and if so, were you able to find a solution?
Many thanks,
Sabrina

I thought Entourage WAS an Apple product.
Nope. M$ product. Always has been.
why we chose to use Entourage instead of Mail in the first place
Possibly because it's closer to Outlook in "feel" and is somewhat easier to configure from an IT perspective (i.e. they don't have to do anything to get Entourage to communicate with an MS Exchange server).
Mail can be configured to work with an Exchange server, either by having IMAP support enabled on the server side, or by configuring mail to access the OWA (Outlook Web Access) server. Your IT group should be able to help there (note that "should" does not necessarily mean "will!).
Hope this helps...

Extract all "business fax" phone numbers from all users contacts and public folders

Hello,
I'm looking for any method to be able to extract "business fax" phone numbers from every user's contact list and public folders contacts.
Is this possible, perhaps with PowerShell?
We are using Exchange 2010, but this forum posting site only lets me choose Exchange 2013.   Is Exchange 2010 still supported?

I recevied a reply from the Script Center, telling me to post in the Exchange Developer forums.
From the Exchange Developer forums I received replies that basically told me I need to figure this out myself and they are not a free consulting service.   Here are the exact words....
Reply:
You need to understand that either you have to try to learn Exchange and scripting or you need to search for solutions.
In most cases with EX2010 there are many utilities build into the EMS that can do almost anything you need however, you need to learn Exchange to be able to even know what to ask for, This is not a free consulting forum. It is a forum for
professionals who use scripting in their work or who are currently learning how to use scripts.
If you are basically versed in Exchange you wil know that the EX2010 home site has all of the resource links. You should always start there.
You need to either get a good book on Exchange administration or sign up for a class in Exchange. It is not possible to guess at how to manage an Exchange installation. Exchange is one of the most complex system Microsoft has ever created.
It may even be more complex that MSSQLServer. You must be trained at some minimum level to work effectively with Exchange.

Difference between shared and public folders

I know this may be a simple question, but can anyone tell me the difference between the shared folder and the public folder? To me, they both seem to serve the same purpose and work in the same way.
Thanks

Hi Will,
Search for 'keep shared files' in the Mac Help on
your computer. The descriptions there should hopefuly
clear things up.
Hope that helps.
iBod,
I know it has been a long time since you responed to this, but I am just getting around to revisiting it. The descriptions make the shared and public folders seem to be different, but in use they appear to function in an identical manner. Is there really any difference in the way they work? If not, why bother having two specialty folders that do the same thing?
Thanks,
Will

Snow Leopard Mail 4.4, Exchange Server, and Public Folders

I'm still confused about Apple's claim for the advantages of the Snow Leopard Mail program being of such significance to Corporate usage when it does not appear to support access to Public Folders when using an Exchange 2007 (or 2010) profile. Within a Corporate environment, Public Folders are one of the benefits for using Exchange.
Am I missing something?

JL,
What you are missing is the exchange! You can check your e-mail in an Exchange account, but you just can't "exchange" anything with others. I can't for the life of me figure out why such a fundamental feature was left out. While Apple is certainly capable of ignoring a feature like this, Microsoft itself has said that the days of public folders are numbered. I think that since Exchange has become more of a standard rather than proprietary, Microsoft prefers to cripple it in favor of something (Sharepoint) that will be proprietary. Why have something simple, that works, when you can complicate it with something new!
The best I can tell, there is no support for public folders in mail.app for Snow Leopard. However, I can't really find a post that firmly states that. There seems to have been support for public folders in the past (pre-Snow) through IMAP. I'm not really sure how that worked, but I've already upgraded, so it's too late for me.
I'd be happy to hear a firm explanation of this from someone from Apple (or otherwise connected).
Good Luck, Jack

SL, Exchange and public folders

Hi, has someone found a way how to see public folders, calendars?
all the rest works sweet and fine.

No. I think we have to wait for a future release of Mail.app,
The EWS protocol used by Mail.app can handle public folders (as seen in Entourage 2008 Web Service Edition), but until now Apple does not support it. I even tried to create a additional Exchange IMAP account, but Exchange 2007 does not support public folder access via IMAP. Exchange 2003 supports it, but does not support EWS.
End of the story for now.

Having problem with folders on exchange mail setup

I set up email using exchange on ipad and it works fine, I see the inbox, sent and trash folders. I set up another device and it is syncing my inbox with my server, but it is not showing me the sent or trash boxes. Can someone help

I suggest a flash dongle.
dropbox.com
zip up all your pictures. upload the pictures to dropbox. download to new mac. You do not need an app on your mac. do a manual upload/download.
yahoo mail is version 3.0.2
I am not familiar with this. Is it an app?
Yahoo changed configuration for imap a week or so ago. Perhaps you should check your parameters.

Exchange mail setup

I've an Iphone an Ipad which both connect perfectly with my exchange mail account. When I use the same account details when setting up a mail account my new Airbook (on Lion) can't connect to the server.
I see one different field in the Ipad/Iphone set up process compared to te mail setup of the Airbook. On the Ipad I can define a 'domain' .. on the MacAir that is on an option.
What is the sollution to tackle this?

Hi Paul,
I replied to a post from you in another thread. It's easy to miss though, so here's what I said:
"You should tell mail2web that there is an option in Exchange to hide public folders from IMAP clients. I'm an IT manager at a large software company with 50% of our users on Macs. We turned on the option to hide public folders from IMAP clients a while ago, long before the iPhone. It's worked very well and continues to work for iPhone people (like me!).
There was no reason for us to make public folders viewable via IMAP, so hopefully the same will be true for mail2web."
I'm actually really glad that Apple made this change. I want to see most of the folders at the inbox level in Exchange and with the Exchange switch turned on to hide public folders, there's no downside.

Activesynch and public folders

New to Z10. Presume Activesynch will syn with my personal mail, contacts, taks and calendar. Does anyone know if this will also work with Public Folders or does this only work with BES? We only have three users so don't really want to go through the hassle of setting up a BES Server.
Thanks
Chris

Good Evening Chris,
Unfortunately activesynch does not support Public Folders nor does BES10. All other personal items will get synched with no problems.
Also you might want to take a look at Codetwo, I have never used it but I have heard good success with people being able to set public folder synch with it.

Exchange 2013 / 2010 / 2007 - Public Folders

I have read that legacy public folders and 2013 public folders canot co-exist.
If I have legacy public folders A, B and C, does this mean...
that if I migrate folder A to 2013, i cannot maintain a replica on legacy systems, but folders B and C are still accessible
..or..
If I migrate folder A to 2013, I must migrate folders B and C also.
If I am need to import folder D, from an external Exchange 2013 installation, into my legacy public folder system, is it possible to migrate folder D out of the external 2130 environment into my legacy public folder environment? If so, is there any extra functionality
2013 PF has that the users will lose if the folders are down graded to legacy?
Thanks!
Tom

Hi,
User mailboxes on Exchange 2013 servers can connect to legacy public folders, but legacy Exchange mailboxes are unable to access the public folder hierarchy on Exchange 2013 server.
Exchange 2013 public folders and legacy public folders can’t exist in your Exchange organization simultaneously.
Before you migrate public folders, you need to migrate mailboxes to Exchange 2013 first.
Please refer to the following article.

Besides, here is a related thread for your reference.

CFexchange and public folders

Using CF8, I currently can access mailboxes and folders in my
exchange information store except for folders in the public store.
Does anyone know how to access information in the public folders
using CF8's exchange tags. More specifically a public calendar.
Thanks.

I've wrestled with this quite a bit and the only means I've
found to access public folders is via cfldap. I'm a complete ldap
noob so I'm not sure how to pull records out with LDAP but during
my research I discovered that I can "see" the public folders in AD.
I just haven't figured out how get the UIDs for them.
