Public Folders

Public Folders consist of a shared folder structure that is accessible for all group members according to their access rights.

This chapter describes:

  • Public Folders: created as parts of group accounts. These folders contain both mail and non-mail folder types.
  • LDAP: allows synchronization of GAL items into LDAP.

Regardless of physical and "historical" separation of Public and IMAP Folders (e.g.: Microsoft Exchange), IceWarp Server uses different conception. Its Public Folders aggregate both Public and IMAP Folders. You define only one Public Folder and both IMAP and GroupWare resources are created. Also permissions are same for both folder types.

If only one of these folders exists, the second one is automatically created when the existing one is edited and changes are saved.
