Remove MS Exchange Public Folders from Mail.App
Authored by: PancakeMan on Oct 11, '05 12:32:08PM
Okay, first of all, to makern... thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you for helping me accomplish what I've been trying to do for months!!!

To innate: I found the prefix that worked for me by:
  • firing up Entourage (which was set up for an Exchange acct)
  • go to account settings
  • select the mail account and hit "edit"
  • in the first tab ("Account Settings"), copy what appears in the "Account name" box (for me, it was my username in all caps)

    That is what I put in the IMAP prefix box in Mail.app preferences. Good luck!

    On http://www.larseggert.de/software.html you will find a very nice (and working) perl script which installs an IMAP proxy, with the ability to filter the public folders according to your preferences. Works like a charm, also under Tiger. For launching it under Tiger you should use launchd, and you have to install some perl libraries via Fink, but that is nothing an experienced macosxhints reader should be afraid of :-) I have been using it for about three months now and it works perfectly.
