Is there a way for users to hide or delete default folders in outlook such as contacts, calendar, from their view? We've got some opening multiple mailboxes, and they only want to see some of the folders. I'm trying to keep it light on the administration end though. Thanks``

One quick way is to only view the Outlook Bar and not the folder list. The Outlook Bar will allow you to rt-click and remove any shortcuts, even default folders.

The users want to be able to view all the folders, at least 10, at one time, so this won't work unfortunately.

The defaults can not be deleted nor hidden. Instead of opening multiple accounts per Outlook Profile, have the user use the File - Open - Other User's Folder option.

This way they can be specific as to what folder is opened. Downside, this must be done each time the user logs into Outlook.

If you want to remove all of the groupware functionality in exchange, then you use something simpler like a pop3 setup. Have users POP the exchange server and download thier mail into PSTs.
