Select a public Outlook folder for client email

Use the Outlook Public Folder window to select the Outlook public folder location you would like Practice CS to access when searching for client email messages.
note
If your firm is running Practice CS in a Virtual Office CS or Software as a Service (SaaS) environment, you can't create Outlook public folders. Instead, follow these steps to create a subfolder within your Firm ID shared folder (for example, 12345_Shared).
