Public Folder or Shared Mailbox

All

We're setting up a new AD and Exchange. There's quite a few additional
mailboxes on our old email system that I need to set up on Exchange. These
are for various functions in each department and some will be accessed by one
person only and some by 20 - 30 people.
I cannot decide to set these up as Shared Mailboxes or Public Folders. I
have never used Public folders, but they seem quite usefull.
I'm looking for some advice for what you use in your jobs and what you find
work best.

Thanks

Do you need those mailboxes only for receiving e-mails or for sending them
too, maybe using their "From:" address?
Will all of your users only use Outlook or OWA to access your Exchange
server?
Which version of Exchange are you going to set up?

Hi Massimo

I need them for sending and receiving, but I think this can be done with
both shared mailboxes and public folders.
They will mostly use Outlook and sometimes OWA
We have exchange 2003.

Thanks
