Yes, they are moving away from Public Folders but hopefully they create a
separate section for the "Public Folder replacement features" such as
SharePoint integration. I wouldn't mind a separate section for RSS feeds
either; with lots of RSS feeds, the Mail section gets crowded and RSS items
aren't emails.
