Subject: Creating a "special" mailbox


I have a user who wants a "special" mailbox created to receive "special"
emails concerning an ongoing project she will be overseeing.

She wants to then open the mailbox along with her regular mailbox - I guess
she wants to keep these messages separate.

I don't see any way (in Exchange 2003 - Standard) to create a mailbox
without creating a mailbox user. (I think I was able to do that in 5.5).

If I create a new user, it will have to be listed in the GAB because there
won't be any way for her to open the mailbox if I hide it.

I think a better way is to assign a new smtp address (especially since these
emails will be coming in from outside the school) to her account and then
create a rule in Outlook to move any incoming mail to a new folder in her
Inbox. I think that accomplishes the same thing without having to create a
"bogus" account.

Is this the best way to do this OR is there a way to create a mailbox by
itself and associate it with her user account?

Thanks,
