So I've been moving a couple companies over to Micrsosoft's new Online Exchange product. It's a nice setup and everything and it's cheap, $10 month per mailbox. But this last client I just moved wanted a Public folder option so Google Apps was out of it (my preferred email option for all the extras you get that you have to pay for from Microsoft). So I read all over the place when I was looking for it and it never mentioned that Public folders wasn't supported yet. So I called tech support and said "how do I add a public folder?" Tech Support, "ummm that's currently not supported. It's a future add but not right now." I told them that is why I moved these people here and I didn't see anything in the literature mentioning that!?!?!
So I'm not happy with that but my thing is that it's an Exchange product. Anyone who has installed an Exchange product, YOU GET PUBLIC FOLDERS! Why isn't that turned on? Oh I know why, the Tech Support dude told me this, There is a work around for this but you need a Sharepoint license. Sooooo Microsoft wants me to PAY for something extra that COMES with Exchange. Nice. Thanks Guys. Um No Thanks, We'll create a work around ourselves.
