Bit of a long shot, but I'm setting up a (virtualised) mirror of my NT4/E5.5
domian in some VMs and have been exporting all the users from the existing
setup into the test 5.5 setup. All is working as expected so far with a bit
of tweaking so I've got all my recipients & DLs imported into the test site.

However, I'm trying to find an easy way of exporting the public folder
structure and re-creating it in the test site (not interested in content,
only names & permissions).

Is this remotely possible? Probably not easily but worth a shot...

pfinfo will list the folders and the permissions, pfadmin will set
permissions, but I'm not sure what you would use to create the folders short
of a custom script. pfinfo and pfadmin were distributed with the backoffice
5.5 resource kit.

Thanks for the pointers, will take a look.

(Creating them isn't as much of an issue as setting the permissions so I can
live with creating them manually if it comes to it)
