Noticeboards are a really useful feature in a shared network environment. In my case, before I retired, in my office environment, a user could get a mail from an external company, and a copy of that message would be put in the relevant folder (eg;Company name) for everyone authorised to see the message, and act on it. Where it differs from regular folders is that the feature requires that permissions be set up by the administrator for people (P.M userid) to be able to access a particular folder structure for read and/or write access. This allows for temporary access to others while a person is absent from work due to illness or vacation etc.
It is the same kind of thing as OS file access control on a network drive. The only real difference IMHO is that granting and removing access is a simple text file rather than the insanely complex system dreamed up by Microsoft.
For single users like myself at present it becomes a simple filing system to access messages quickly. The only real difference between regular messages and noticeboard messages is that for noticeboards the messages remain individually kept as *.CNB rather than *.CNM in a folder. This is just like viewing messages in a NewMail display. No compressing/indexing folders is ever required.
All that being said, I have not tested it out in Windows 10 32/64 bit modes.
Let me know if I can be of any help.
