Thread: mail account for multiple users

    mail account for multiple users

    We have a client who is currently using a POP3 account for a generic mail
    account everyone can access. For example, if someone mails to
    mail@company.com, everyone can access it locally and anyone can respond to
    it. We are moving them to SBS 2003 and setting up their mail in Exchange.
    Can anyone offer a solution to create a mail account that everyone could
    access and anyone could reply to and a plus would be to determine who
    answered which email? My solution is to create a mail-enabled Public Folder
    that everyone could access. Then they could reply from w/in the Public
    Folder. Would that be a way to handle this? Any suggestions will be
    appreciated.

    Public folder would be best. But watch that any sent items will go into the
    users sent items not be located with the public folder. I would also set
    send on behalf of access and have users reply using the From field (turn on
    under new message, view menu, from field) and enter the public folder name -
    this way any replies go to the folder not to the users inbox.

    You could use a generic user/mailbox account. The same issues would apply
    regarding sent items in local inbox and the send on behalf of issue. To give
    everyone access to the mailbox account, go to AD, Exchange Advanced, Mailbox
    rights and grant Full mailbox access. Grant Send As on security or send on
    behalf of in Exchange General.

    In addtion to Glen's opinion, if you going to use an additional generic
    mailbox, take a look at UniSent utility:
