1. Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click SharePoint Central Administration.
2. In the Virtual Server Configuration section, click Configure virtual server settings.
3. On the Virtual Server List page, select the virtual server you want to use.
4. On the Virtual Server Settings page, under Virtual Server Management, click Virtual server general settings.
5. In the E-Mail Enabled Document Libraries section, next to Document libraries on this virtual server can accept e-mail attachments, click Yes.
6. In the Public folder server and root path box, type the path to the root folder for the Exchange public folders, for example http://myexchange/public.
7. Specify how frequently the public folders are checked for attachments by selecting one of the following:
   • Every ___ minutes

     Type the number of minutes to wait before checking again.

   • Hourly between ___ and ___ past the hour

     Type the times between which you want to check. For example, between 10 and 20 past the hour would specify that the public folder is checked between 1:10 and 1:20, 2:10 and 2:20, and so on.

     -or-

   • In the Daily between section, specify the times of day to process e-mail insertions.

   The default value is hourly, between 0 and 59 minutes past the hour.

8. Click OK.

If this feature has been enabled at the virtual server level, any administrator (or other user with the Manage List Permissions right) of any site on that virtual server can configure a document library to link to a public folder.

1. Navigate to the document library you want to use.
2. In the Actions section, click Modify settings and columns.
3. In the General Settings section, click Change advanced settings.
4. On the Document Library Advanced Settings: Library name page, in the E-Mail Settings section, in the Public folder address box, type the path to the Exchange public folder you want to link to.

   This path is relative to the path specified on the Virtual Server General Settings page. For example, if the virtual server specified http://server_name/public as the root path for public folders, and the full path to the folder is http://server_name/public/folder_name, then you would type /folder_name in the Public folder address box.

5. Click OK.
