We have just migrated from an NT4/Exchange 5.5 server to a new W2K/Exchange 2000 server. The public folders transferred over and worked fine after I figured out they had to be e-mail enabled. But now all the new items in the folders show up as posts instead of e-mails. These are coming in via e-mail from the general public to discuss the issue that the folder is set up for. After our people here read the comment, they respond to the person who sent the e-mail and thank them for their input. After sending them the response, they then use the follow up flag so that others in the group will see which ones have been responded to, and which ones haven't. Unfortunately, now with exchange 2000, they respond, then flag with the follow up status, but exchange doesn't put the flag out there, and the e-mail/post continues to look as if it has had no action taken. We are using Outlook 2002 for the desktop client. Thanks for your assistance!!!!!
