Adding Email Aliases to Public Folder

Note: This functionality is not available if there are no domains with Hosted Exchange in your subscription.

As with mailboxes, you can create an email alias for a public folder. In this case, this address will be associated with the public folder and all the mail sent to it will actually go to the public folder.

To add an email address to the Public folder:

  1. Open the Public Folders screen.
  2. Click the Display name of the required public folder.
  3. Open the Email addresses tab. This page is intended to display all the email addresses for a given public folder.
  4. Click the Add New Email address button. The screen for adding new email address will open.
  5. Type in the name of the email address that would become an alias for a given public folder.
  6. Click Submit to save it.

When you have two or more email addresses for the same public folder, you can change the Reply to email address. This address will be used to receive the letters replied to any of your email aliases. By default this address is the first address you create for the public folder.

To change the Reply to email address:

  1. On the Emails address tab, click the Change button under the address in the Reply to email address area. The list of existing email addresses will open, excluding the one you wish to change.
  2. Click on the name of the address that you want to make the Reply to email address. You will be moved back to the list of email addresses. As you will be moved back to the list of email addresses, you will see that the Reply to email address has changed.
