auto-copy from private to public folder

In Outlook 2000, is there a way (script, rule, code, anything!!) to
automatically copy email to a public folder when a user stores it in their
private folder?

Users already store their project-related emails to a private folder under
their Inbox, and management wants to be able to view all project-related
emails without having to manage each user's mail folders... so basically I
need to automate copying from only certain private folders to certain public
folders (either on save to private folder or once per day or something like
that).

If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
Rondy
 
Since Outlook macro (VBA) code isn't intended for distribution you are best
off doing this with a COM addin to run on each Outlook client. An
alternative would be to use server-side code to handle things, logging into
each mailbox using WebDAV or Exchange Web Services (depending on what
version of Exchange you're using) and handle it that way. That you'd ask
about in an Exchange development group.

Assuming a COM addin the code would get a handle to that filing subfolder
and its Items collection. It would then get a handle to the desired public
folder and its Items collection. When the ItemAdd() event fires on the
desired source folder the code would then call the Copy() method to copy it
to the desired target folder.

You can find information about Outlook COM addins, and lots of samples for
finding folders and handling ItemAdd() at www.outlookcode.com.
 
Did you ever get anywhere on this?
