Exchange Public Folder Connection
Public Folders in Exchange serve as a shared space where teams can access emails, calendars, contacts, and documents in one place. Since multiple users rely on this data, it is important to establish a proper connection before managing or migrating Public Folders with EdbMails. The first step is to connect to the source Exchange Public Folder. This guide explains how to configure the connection securely and efficiently, so your Public Folder data is ready for migration or further management using EdbMails.
Steps to Configure a Source Exchange Public Folder
- The Exchange Server source connection opens a wizard to set up the migration. Here, select 'Connect using Global Admin User' and choose the mailbox type as 'Connect to Public Folder', then click 'Next' to proceed.
- Select 'Use Default Connection', enter the source Exchange server details such as IP address, Exchange version, DOMAIN\username, and password to access the source Exchange server mailboxes, and then click the 'Login' button.
