Missing feature at BES 10. Connecting public folder at Microsoft Exchange

Question

Dear Develpment,
one of the different using BB to iOs or Android device was the it was possible to connect to public folder by BES 5.x.
So it was possible to syn your public contact folders of all employee of our company. We must do nothing, if data changed or a new employee added to the public folder.
Now with BES 10 and active sync technology this good feture isnt possible. - Pity.
But maybe in your planning for some next releases it is a way to implement this nice feature...
Blackberry must have some better features than iOS and Andoid.......so you would come back to one top smartphone seller...... I Hope so.
Greetings from Germany

Hi,
Please use the Get-PublicFolderStatistics cmdlet to check if you can get public folders on Exchange 2013.
If there is no public folder listed, I recommend you run the Get-PublicFolderMigrationRequestStatistics cmdlet to view detailed information about migration requests.

Get-PublicFolderStatistics on the 2013 server fails with "No active public folder mailboxes were found."
Get-PublicFolderMigrationRequestStatistics needs to know more info to run. So I run it as follows:
Get-PublicFolderMigrationRequest | Get-PublicFolderMigrationRequestStatistics which gives me:
StatusDetail: StalleDueToMailboxLock
PercentComplete: 95.
This fits with the migration guide because after I reached this point I did the following to assign it to a test user:
Set-Mailbox (name of new PF mailbox) -PublicFolder -IsExcludedFromServingHierarchy $False
Set-Mailbox (name of test user) -DefaultPublicFolderMailbox (name of new PF mailbox)
