Email > Public Folders
Back to Top PUBLIC FOLDERS Public Folders are mailboxes that are not part of any user’s account. They are "public" because they are not in private space belonging to a particular user. Each public folder can be seen only by those users who have access rights to see it, and that can range from all users on the system (like ~ Public Folders.bboard) down to only one person. You will see listed under ~ Public Folders only the public folders that you have access to. Back to Top HIERARCHIES Public folders are arranged in a hierarchy or tree structure. The first level directly under ~ Public Folders corresponds to university organizations like departments and clubs. The purpose of grouping folders into hierarchies is to enable the appropriate people in the organization to control their mailboxes themselves. The names in the first level under ~ Public Folders are modelled on the www.columbia.edu/cu/ web tree and on subdomains of columbia.edu. This first level is (or can be) a mailbox, and its Access Control List determines who has the a administer right. With the administer right you can control who has access to the mailboxes, create more mailboxes, and remove mailboxes. CUIT staff create a new first level on request, and establish an Access Control List. The staff of the organization can then control that space. Back to Top NAMES Below are the first level names that currently exist under ~ Public Folders. When you want a public folder, see whether your department or club already has a first level, and if so maybe someone in your organization can already create new public folders under it. If not or if you want any help, please contact CUIT. abc Activities Board at Columbia admin University Administration ages Association of Graduate Economics Students alice Alice (Health Services at
