Public and shared folders

Plesk Premium Email allows you to share Email-Folders, Calendars, Tasklists and Addressbooks with other users through shared folders.
This can be used for small self-organized teams or if you would like to share your personal Calendar with another users.

Popular usecases for public folders are for instance an office calendar or a company addressbook.
