Hi, We’re dealing with a medium-high amount of folders in some shared
mailboxes. I’d like to create two extra views for my co-workers for each
folder. The two views are independent of the folder so i just have to
navigate through the folder tree and creating the new views and make it
public for the folder. My question is: .. where are really these views
stored?? I guess on the server so I'm asking myself about the consequences
in tearms of memory or performance of each user modyfing each view
eventually on each folder. The server would have to storage hundreds of views
for each user...Is that a big problem?
 
Where views are stored specifically depends on whether they are set for that
folder, all folders of that type or whatever. In any case the views are
stored in the mailbox (and local OST if those are used). In some cases the
view is stored as a hidden message in the folder, in others in a message in
a hidden folder called Common Views, in other cases in a different hidden
folder.
 
Views are stored as hidden items in the root of a user's Mailbox. I wouldn't
worry too much about having hundreds of them - there should be a neglible
impact on storage and performance.
