Public Folders - Display Actual Address That Email Was Sent To

[Art Vandelay]

We have migrated from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2003.

We have an email enabled Public Folders that have 25 or so email
addresses(SMTP) that can accept mail.

Under 5.5, we could add the "TO" column to our Outlook view, and then when
opening the Public Folder, we could see the actual SMTP email address that
the email came in under.

Since moving to Exchange 2003, when we add the "TO" column, it seems to just
display the Public Folder name itself--not the actual TO: address that the
email address came in under. We had been using this address column to sort
by, so it is causing an issue.

Now, to try and get the actual email address it came in under, we have to do
Tools-Options->Then look at the Internet Header.

Is there a known/easy way to make Outlook display the actual email address
that mail came in on instead of just the Public Folder name?

Thanks for any assistance anyone can give....

What I tend to do for this is -

Create individual distribution groups for the separate addresses
Add the mailbox (well, in this case, the mail-enabled public folder) as the
only member
Hide the distribution group from the GAL

The display name in the message will be that of the distribution group, not
the display name of the ultimate destination (mailbox or public folder).

Thanks for the info... We have some Public Folders with 25 or so email
addresses.

So, would I make basically 25 distribution groups, with a single email
address in each one, then each group points to the Public Folder?

If you were following my technique, yes - if you cared about 25 individual
addresses showing up in a clear way.
