What are Public Folders?
Click the thumbs below to vote:
In Microsoft Outlook (connected to Exchange), a public folder is a folder created to share information with others - like emails, contacts, tasks, or documents in general.
The owner of a public folder can set permissions so that only a select group of users have access to the folder (can add/edit/delete items), or the folder can be made available to everyone on the Exchange Server.
Public folders in Outlook can contain contacts, calendar items, messages, journal entries, or Outlook Forms.
