Right - so it just boils down to how you define 'Public' - and you
confirmed that these were not actually 'public' folders as *I* would
define them, but folders that individuals had shared.
I would describe Public Folders as folders that were created and
adminstered by the sys admin(s), for use by people in the company.
Certainly, allow them deletion in down-level folders if desired, but
they shouldn't be able to delete the parent shares.
So we are on the same page most likely... :)
