Access to Public Folders while in Mixed Mode   

For the life of me I can not rember if this should work or not or where it is 
documented if not:

A public folder that was created in an Pure E2K3 Admin Group is replicated 
to an Exchange 5.5 site.  The user in the 5.5 site has been granted roles to 
the PF that has been replicated.  Can a user of a 5.5 mailbox be able to 
access and use the public folder that originated in 2003?

Thank you everyone in advance for yoru help.

Hello,

Thank you for posting here!

The answer is Yes. As far as I know, if you have replicated the Public 
Folders and granted the permissions without problem, the user whose mailbox 
is hosted on the Exchange server 5.5 should access the specific Public 
Folder successfully. For more detailed information about Public Folder 
replication, please refer to the following Knowledge Base articles:

Please don't hesitate to let me know in case you have any further break/fix 
issue related to the Public Folder access. Have a nice day!
