Shared mailbox and shared calendar question

[illscientific]

With exchange you can have a group of users add a mailbox to monitor for mail and add a calendar. What I would like to be able to do is have several central mailboxes that groups of users can all add so that they get messages sent to those email addresses like if you had a sales@domain.net and you wanted your sales team to all get those mails. Whats the best way to do that? Also say you want a shared calendar for all the sales people and you want it added to this sales@domain.net account so that people who are part of this group when sending mail, it says that it came from sales@domain.net, instead of the particular sales agent's email address... I was setting up a shared calendar and i noticed that the path name included the user who was creating the calendar's path.... for exporting it or making it viewable to external users... I don't like that so... how would you go about having a shared calendar and email address... whats the best way to do this? Thanks!

It sounds like you could use a distribution list to get "sales@example.com" mail delivered to all the sales guys.

Shared mail folders are a requested feature; please vote for it in bugzilla if you'd like to see it introduced.

If you'd like to create a real mailbox for "sales@example.com" and host your shared calendar there, that'd certainly work.

Are shared mail folders available yet? If not, when will they be available?

Click on the link above and you'll see the state of the feature in the bugzilla.
It should hit next major release (Q1 2007).
