IMAP/Exchange 2003 Public Folders problem   
Hi all,
I have clustered exchange 2003 SP2 as Back-End and one Front-End server. 
I've been forced to enable IMAP4 for some people (IPhones).
I tried to disable access to public forders, but on front-end IMAP4 server 
this setting is grayed out and I can't change it. I have quite big list of 
public folders and I don't want them to be seen on Iphones.
Anyone can help how to turn this thing off?

thanks,
Chris

Yes, I mean the IMAP4 service on the public folder server.
Is the pf store on the same server as the maibox store?

Re: IMAP/Exchange 2003 Public Folders problem   
Yes, the same. FE server has both (MBX and PF) stores mounted, but nothing 
inside PF store except some system stuff like OAB, offline address books, 
etc.

Re: IMAP/Exchange 2003 Public Folders problem   
Hello,

Thank you for your post. My name is Robbin Meng, and it is my pleasure to 
work with you on this issue! 

Please allow me to confirm that my understandings are correct. As I 
understand it, the issue is:

You have to enable IMAP4 for some Exchange users. However, you don't want 
them to be see the Public Folders on Iphones. So you would like to disable 
them from viewing public folders on your Exchange server.

If I have misunderstood your concerns please feel free to let me know.

Generally, when you setup a FE-BE topology Exchange environment, the 
mailbox store and public store should be configured and homed on the BE 
server. However, to enable/disable the IMAP4 feature of certain user or 
disable user from accessing public folders, you should use "Active 
Directory Users and Computers" to modify the users' "Exchange Features" 
property and click on the IMAP4 item, then click Property. Clear the "Use 
protocol defaults" box and then select "include all public folders when a 
folder list is requested" checkbox.

Please check if this works. Hope it helps.

please do not hesitate to let me know. 

Thank you for your time and cooperation!
