Hi, We are decommissioning Exchange 2010 but we have lot of public folder with mail enable on them but also these public folder have sub folder which are link the distribution list.

I would like to convert all public sub folder into individual shared mailbox.

e.g.

public folder: Folder 1 

                           -> Marketing Emails  

                           -> Sales

I would like to convert the sub folders into shared mailbox not the full public folder

    There is no built-in way to do that.

    You will need to create a new shared mailbox manually or with a script, and then mail disable the public folders and move their respective SMTP addresses to the new shared mailbox.
