The Benefits of Automation for Exchange Online Public Folders
Exchange Online is Microsoft’s cloud-based email service. It provides organizations with the flexibility and scalability of cloud computing, while ensuring the safety and security of data. With Exchange Online, organizations can quickly and easily deploy and manage email accounts for their users.
One of the key features of Exchange Online is its ability to automatically manage public folder mailboxes. Exchange Online offers the AutoSplit feature, which automatically divides the contents of a public folder mailbox into multiple mailboxes. This helps organizations avoid having one large, unwieldy mailbox that could potentially become unruly and difficult to manage.
