In Outlook 2003 and Exchange Server.

Hi, We’re dealing with a medium-high amount of folders in some shared 
mailboxes. I’d like to create two  extra views  for my co-workers for each 
folder. The two views are independent of the folder so i just have to 
navigate through the folder tree and creating the new views and make it 
public for the folder. My question is: .. where are really these views 
stored?? I guess on the server so I'm  asking  myself about  the consequences 
in tearms of memory or performance  of each user modyfing each view 
eventually on each folder. The server would have to storage hundreds of views 
for each user...Is that a big problem? 

Where views are stored specifically depends on whether they are set for that 
folder, all folders of that type or whatever. In any case the views are 
stored in the mailbox (and local OST if those are used). In some cases the 
view is stored as a hidden message in the folder, in others in a message in 
a hidden folder called Common Views, in other cases in a different hidden 
folder.

Views are stored as hidden items in the root of a user's Mailbox.  I wouldn't 
worry too much about having hundreds of them - there should be a neglible 
impact on storage and performance.
