    Hi. What I ment with the "one inbox - no subfolders" was that our user typicially use a folder hierarki in Public Folders, when they want to move mails to subfolders. This can not be done with Groups.

      This requirement has been discussed several times here, but it looks like Microsoft don't plan to implement it...
