Hello, If I understand what you are trying to do: You would like to have a message sent to a mailbox that can be read by multiple people. You want each person to see that a new message has arrived, and potentially deal with it. You would like all the potential readers of the mailbox to at least be aware that there are new messages. This sounds like something that should be done with an e-mail enabled public folder. Keep in mind that public folders don't have to be "public". You can set the permissions on them so that only a certain group of people can see them. Public folders keep track of per/user read informaion. In other words if person 1 reads the message person 2 still sees it as unread. If CC: your responses back into the public folder then everyone who has access to the public folder can see what action if any has been taken for a given message.

Everything is fine, but the problem is, when a new message arrives in the mailbox, if one of the user reads the email, it appears as """READ Message""" for rest of them as well, I was just wondering if there was any way of others letting know that this specific email has been dealt with or not after someone reads it and takes an action. Any advice????????
