Hello,

at first I would like to know how these folders are officially called in
English - Team Folder or Public Folders? Both searchstrings turn up results
in Google.
Lets me explain my problem:
We are working with Outlook 2000 and Exchange 2000. Since some time we are
using public folders. But we are missing one function. We want Exchange to
send an email or Outlook popup to the users concerened on change, creation
or maturity of a task or calendar entry in a public folder. It doesnt have
to be Exchange, we could also implement a little tool at the client
computers.
Is this possible? Are there any free tools? Are there any sites giving hints
on how to programm something like that by yourself?
Is there a way to add entries from public calendars in the personal
calendar?

Any help will be highly appreciated.
Sorry for the crosspost, but I didn't which group to use

"Public folders" are those folders in the Public Folders hierarchy on Exchange. "Team Folders" refers to a specialized browser-based interface toolkit for public folders, which Microsoft no longer supports.

See http://www.cdolive.com/pfalert.htm for a notification script, and http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/sync.htm#exssync for tools to synchronize public and mailbox folders.
