4.6 Management Tasks for Public Folders

If the DRA Administrator has created Public Folder forests in the DRA managed enterprise and granted you powers to manage public folders in DRA, you will be able to create public folders, modify their properties, and generate change history reports. Creating and modifying public folders can only be done in the Web Console. You execute Public Folder tasks from the Management > Public Folders tab.

You can create new public folders in specified Public Folder domains, subtrees, and mailboxes via the Web Console. You can use the default mailbox for the selected domain or choose one.

Enable email for a public folder

You can enable email for a public folder using the Enable Mail option on the list toolbar. This enables you to associate email addresses with the public folder and modify the public folder’s properties.

Disable email for a public folder

You can disable email for a public folder using the Disable Mail option on the list toolbar.

Modify public folder properties

In these properties you can specify user delivery and restriction options, size limits and quota warnings, mail properties, storage age limits, inclusion of moderators to approve mail, and custom attributes.

NOTE:You can also update some properties for multiple public folders when more than one is selected, such as storage quotas.
