Public folders

[quote user="Sharkfin"]Is there a reason why good ol' Windows folder permissions can't be used? A simple Deny right for the certain people you're thinking of would surely work.[/quote]

That's not really what I meant. I've got two Pegasus users, one for business and one for private mail. A colleague of mine put a business mail in a public folder, which is accessible to all Pegasus users. I accidentally replied to the business mail from my private address, having forgotten to change users. However, as I said, I'm now running two single-user installations on my computer at work , which does in fact satisfy my purposes. It took me a while to get it running this way, though. It seems easier to me to switch from single-user mode to multi-user mode than the other way around. But never mind that. I'll just close this thread.

Cheers!

Does anyone know of a way to hide public folders from certain users? I know it sort of defeats the purpose of *public* folders and yet it would come in handy for me if it could be done or if there were some kind of workaround for it.

Edit: I know of one workaround, which is running multiple single-user installations on one system, which is what I've now resorted to but I was hoping for a somewhat more elegant method.
