841.0. "how can a client see another clients mail folders?" by NQOS01::nqsrv247.nqo.dec.com::Workbench () Tue Jan 28 1997 02:47

	i have a laptop and a desktop, both running exchange client.
	they are both ethernetted together.  they are part of the
	same workgroup.  neither is a server.

	i want to have a common exchange folder between the two, or a 
	folder on one that the other can see.

	how do i do it?

	i know they can both see the server, but since the server is
	connected via a 28.8kbps modem, i want to move email down
	to one of my clients and know that i can share it with the
	other without going slowly back up to client each time.

	teamlinks allowed me to mount a remote drawer on any other
	system.  how do i do this with exchange?

	thanks,
	jim.

	Create a public folder, with only the two users having permissions to access them. Ben

	You could also to this another way.. As your two systems are networked together, you could have a profile on each machine pointing to the same .PST file, as long as you can successfully share it of course. That way, no matter which system you were using, you would be looking at the same information. You can also use the briefcase to store the .PST file so that the laptop for example, would still show all information if it was removed from the network. Nigel.

	I may not fully understand your question, but if your postoffice is on the network, (either on the Exchange server of a network drive) you can access it with any PC once the network validates your user name and password. My setup: I have a personal share on the network that I access as a netowrk drive "M". I have created my personal folder in my work and home PCs pointing to that drive M and same subdirectory, and I can access my stored mail from both places. /OLD
