If you use Outlook 2000 on a network at work, you may find some interesting information posted in the public folders. Many public folders are organized as open discussions in which anyone can put in his or her two cents' worth. All the messages can be read by anybody, so everybody reads and replies to everybody else. If you view a folder and find it's full of messages from different people all replying to one another, you're looking at a discussion folder.
To add new items to a public folder, follow these steps:
Choose View, Folder List (or click the Folder List button in the toolbar).
The Folder List appears.
Click the name of the folder.
The list of messages in the folder appears.
Choose File, New, Post in This Folder.
The New Item form appears.
Type a subject and your message.
Click Post.
Now your message is part of the list of items in the folder.
