Outlook Public Folders are accessed from within the Outlook program. Can be owned by faculty or staff, but not students. Our replacement for VMS Notes. Members must have Davidson email accounts and must use Outlook full client or Outlook Web. Accessible from off campus via Outlook Web.
Attachments work smoothly.
Contacts placed in OPFs cannot be accessed at all from Outlook Web or Outlook Mac. Set up and maintain permissions for users on the folder and any subfolders. Maintenance is performed through Outlook full client. A distribution list may be created to facilitate assignment of rights, if an appropriate list does not already exist. If your group or department already has an Outlook Public Folder, do not complete the request form to have subfolders created.
