Do i need to create another user to get a separate mail box?
I am running SBS 2003 with Outlook 2003.
We want to create a new e-mail address rsvp@domain.com that multiple people will need to have access to. Should I create a new user, user rsvp, and a new e-mail account. Then add that new e-mail box to outlook for the users that need access to the rsvp e-mail?
Is there a better way that would not involve create a new user acct for this?

Is your domian name same for the other mail address that u r using .
if yes then u r doing right .
Other wise what u can do is create a distribution groupp add all the users who need to use it and add the mailbox of the distribution group in the outlook profiles of the users as an addditional mailbox .
Then the users who are added in the group can use the mailbox .
Just chek the permissons on the mail box of the group so that the users can send mail also from it .

rakeshmiglani I just attempted to use public folders and when I try to reply to an e-mail in the public folder it only gives me the option to post to the public folder a reply....it does not e-mail the sender a reply. If i use the public folder can i set it up to reply to the sender?
There is an option in the Public folder which you can setup to automatically reply to the Sender. Are you talking about that option?

If an e-mail drops into the public folder i would like the option to reply to that e-mail. Not automatically but when I need to reply to a specific e-mail I would like to. As it's setup now when I open the e-mail in the public folder it only gives me the option to post to that public folder, not to reply to the message. How can i set it up so that I can reply to the message?
Are the email coming in as email or Post in the PF?

This link looks to change it from a post to a note, I want it to stay an e-mail so that the users can respond to it just like any other e-mail.
then it needs to be changed to .note

Looks like I don't need the hotfix only SP1 since i am on exchange 2003. So you think that if I change it to a .note then it will act as a normal e-mail?
ASKER
I made the change you suggested and it now does appear as an e-mail in the PF. However, with no option of replying to the message. Any way of making it so that we can reply to the messages in the PF?

Nevermind, i was unable to reply from OWA but it works great in Outlook...thanks for all the help!
