  • How to access Public Folders in MAC Outlook Client (2016)

    Before you can access public folders from your Outlook client on MAC, you need to subscribe to them first. Please follow the instructions below to subscribe to public folders within Outlook.

    From your Outlook client, click Tools, then Public Folders.

     

    Folder browser window opens, by expanding on SD35 and other public folders listed on the screen, navigate to the specific public folder you would like to add, then click Subscribe (the green + sign, upper left)

    In this example, I am adding Counselling public folder which is under Forms and Procedures, under District Resources, under SD35 (screen shot 2).

     

    Once the folder is subscribed, the folder name will turn bold and it will appear under Subscribed Public Folderswithin the left pane of your Outlook.

    Close folder browser window, click on Subscribed Public Folders, the icon is below towards the bottom of your inbox folders. Click on the public folder you have added; its contents will appear on the right pane. (Screen shot 3)

     

    Important Notes:

    • Folders and calendars need to be subscribed individually

    • If you subscribe to a public folder and it contains additional sub folders, you will need to subscribe the sub folders, not the root folder.

    • If you subscribe to a public folder and it contains files, you don’t need to subscribe to the files. They will appear under the folder.

    • ensure that you have installed the most recent updates for your Microsoft Office Products (word, excel, outlook). You may run into various errors without the latest updates.

  • How to add Public Folders Calendars in MAC Outlook Client (2016)

    In this example, I am subscribing to a public folder calendar called ACS BBQ Popcorn Machine since it sounded interesting!

    By following the same steps as How to access Public Folders in MAC Outlook Client (2016), subscribe to the specific calendar. Once done, this shared calendar will appear under your own calendar.

    To view, click on your calendar folder within Outlook, scroll down, expand Subscribed Public Folders, click on the calendar you have added to view the appointments.

     

    Important Notes:

    • Folders and calendars need to be subscribed individually

    • If you subscribe to a public folder and it contains additional sub folders, you will need to subscribe the sub folders, not the root folder.

    • If you subscribe to a public folder and it contains files, you don’t need to subscribe to the files. They will appear under the folder.

    • Please also ensure that you have installed the most recent updates for your Microsoft Office Products (word, excel, outlook). You may run into various errors without the latest updates.

  • How to access Public Folders from Office 365 Email (Online Version)

    When using web version of Outlook 365 (previously known as OWA), public folders are not immediately available by default. You will need to add the public folders in to your Favorites (a set of folders within your mailbox) before you can view them from your Office 365 mailbox.

    From Outlook, right click on Favorites, then “Add public folder to Favorites” (if you do not see Favorites, click on More, screen shot #1, below)

    Navigate to the specific folder you would like to access, then click Add to Favorites. In this example below, I am adding Admin Resources public folder to my Favorites.

    If Favorites is not visible, click More.

    Right click on Favorites, click Add Public Folder to Favorites

    Navigating to Admin Resources Public Folder, adding to Favorites by clicking Add to Favorites

    Admin Resources Public Folder has been added:

    If you are using Outlook client on your MAC (not the web version), the previous procedure on how to access Public Folders has not changed.

    Please note the following:

    • If you need to access multiple public folders, they have to be added to your Favorites individually

    • Adding a public folder to Favorites does not show the sub folders

    • If you need access to Public Folder Calendars, Shared Contacts, Parents Email Lists, it is recommended that you use Outlook client (the one that is installed on your desktop) since the online version lacks some of those functionalities.

    • If you do not have Outlook client installed, please touch base with your school’s IT Support Specialist.
