Exchange 12 and Public Folders

I think one thing that is majorly overlooked by the WSS team, is the "replication across geographically distributed sites". I use public folders for this purpose alone, and though I like WSS, there is no way to use it over slow links, and no good way to replicate the data. I hope that whenever exchange drops support for PF, that the WSS team adds replication to the product, or else customers will be stuck.

Given that PFs will be officially supported until at least 2016, I think it's a safe bet that the SharePoint folks will provide a distributed multi-master replication facility sometime before PFs fade off into the sunset. My experience has generally been that many of the organizations now using PFs have lots of PF content that they don't need and aren't using, so PF cleanup is always one of the first things included in any supportability review I perform for customers.

First, I noticed that you're still calling the product E12, and that it wasn't announced as part of Office 2007 last week. Does this mean it's not a part of Office anymore (again)?

Second, two things we also use public folders for here in addition to sharing messages with a workgroup:

1) Shared/generic e-mail addresses that we don't want to set up as a distribution list. It seems like creating a public folder has lower overhead than maintaining a separate user account for a generic mailbox.

2) Easy way to move e-mail messages between users when a user is retiring or taking a new position. Before they leave, they can move any e-mails they wish to pass along to a public folder, and the new employee can claim them and move them back to their inbox.

Mail-enabled public folders are often used as shared group mailboxes, centralized fax mailboxes, and a variety of other group collaboration needs in which direct SMTP support is necessary. I haven't seen any promise that WSS will provide the capability of a shared mail-enabled repository in which permissions can be controlled as easily as public folders can.

Are there plans to allow SharePoint to offer the simplicity and flexibility of mail-enabled public folders?

As many above I also have concerns about mail enabled public folders. We use a number of them as shared generic accounts such as info@domain.com etc.

My other question is about "Free/busy lookups through the new E12 availability web service". Can you elaborate more on this? Will this be based on the CalDAV standard?

I also want to register my concern about mail enabled public folder. We use them, and as a Gold Partner we have advised our clients to use them as they simplify management of info@domain.com mailboxes.

Another common use for our organization and our customers is centralizing external contacts into a public folder. This works extremely well, as that contact folder can be setup as an Outlook Address Book. Although I understand that contact folders can be handled in WSS v3, what about making that contact folder in WSS v3 an Outlook Address Book.

If you can provide a simple migration roadmap for these two issues, you will make adoption of Outook 2007 and E12 that much easier for many organizations!

K. Jung,

To answer your question - the EVENTS.EXE aka Events Service is gone from Exchange 12. This service was "de-emphasized" in Exchange 2000/2003 releases (meaning - it was included to allow time to migrate Event Service scripts to other solutions).

I don't understand why MS is so driven to a future that a lot of people like. I want to have that sportcar in red, but it will soon be available only in bleu because we don't want to sell red ones anyomre.

I see many organizations making use of PF's even beside Sharepoint. Because it's handy simple inside your mailbox and its a simple folderstructure, and they are free how to use it. For example lot of companies use it to collect emails for example info@company.com share it and it's available. The nice thing about it, is the simplicity easy fast solutions. installing another Backoffice product for those simple tasks is often overkill

Well in the end besicly it's just simple mail, and there are a lot of sportcar brands, when people look at cars they buy the ones with the most gadgets (wrong, that are the people who buy computers), car buyers prefer red sportcars

Well, maybe this post is just a bit out of scope, but still about Exchange 12. First of all, exchange dev. roadmap seems to be really nice. IMHO, E2k/E2k3 has too many different management technologies... But the best news about Ex12 is management based on Monad. Here is my question: where can I find more technical information on Monad&Exchange? For example, which cmdlets will be available? Will Ex12 include namespace providers(for example, AD provider)? And how is GUI interacting with Monad? Does it use Cmdlets directly or via Monad hosting? If via hosting, could it be possible to view GUI-generated Monad scripts? I undestand, of course, this stuff would be in Ex12 SDK, but maybe you have some information to share now? In general, it would be great to see more blog posts about Monad&Exchange.

I love it that you will support this for 10 years. However I have a concern that you will withdraw support for features before that 10 year period. Point in question - during the launch of Exchange 2000, much ado was made about the IFS and how you can now put information directly into the Exchange store. My company built an Intranet solution for a client based on this technology which worked fine - even on Exchange 2003 - until that is Office 2003 SP1 - this "broke" their ability to save information to the data store. MS response is "oh that's no longer supported"... Hence the need to redesign the application at the cost to the customer. Therefore I take the "10 year support" cycle very cynically.

IMAP and OWA don't fully play with PFs in E12. So what happens to the Entourage clients? Can they no longer use PFs?

No IMAP or OWA access to Public Folders in E12? This is not a good thing. It is bad enough that our Mac user base is screwed regarding freedocs in Public Folders, but under E12 they'll have NO access?

I'd like to join the voices of those disappointed in the lack of IMAP and OWA support for E12 Public Folders. I think it's horribly misleading to suggest that Public Folders AS WE KNOW THEM TODAY will be supported beyond the EOL of Exchange 2003. It sounds to me like Public Folders are being reluctantly retained for the sole purpose of appeasing the Outlook user population, without regard to the rest of the Exchange customer base. This only reinforces the industry misconceptions of Exchange being a closed, proprietary platform with poor interoperability options. Please...if you can't RTM with IMAP and OWA support for E12 Public Folders, then at least keep them on the list to catch for SP1.
