Public Folders for Project e-mail   

We use public folders and outlook for easy retrieval of project related
e-mail. All employees are required to move e-mail to the correct folder for
easy retrieval of anyone on the team. As you can imagine, some duplication
occurs, but it is better than having all that mail stuck on someone's
workstation. One feature I would like to add would be a way to CC: the
proper folder when sending mail. Any thoughts out there?
Thanks

Just mail-enable it.

When you say '....stuck on someone's workstation', do you mean you're using 
PST files for some reason?

Before we did this all mail was on individual HDD in outlook. Some indivuals
had archive pst files.
What do you mean  "mail-enable it" ???

Thanks

So you've gotten away from PST files now, though, right? Everyone keeps 
important stuff in the Exchange mailbox or public folders? PST files are 
best avoided.

In ESM, find the folder, right-click on it, Exchange tasks, mail enable.
