Use File | Move to Folder instead of Save and Close to designate where those items should be saved.

This is a very limited behavior, does anyone know of a third party
workaround or another solution to this problem?

Thanks

Tasks and activities will always post to your default folders, not public
folders.

After furious head scratching, jereviscious asked:

| Hi all.
|
| I've created a public folder that contains all of my contact
| information as well as a calendar and task list. My question is, is
| how do I set it up so that when a create a new task request for a
| contact, it will post in the public task list?
|
| I've already associated the public task list on the activities tab
| for the contact folder, but the tasks keep getting posted to my own
| personal task list, unshared.
|
| Thanks in advance for your reply.
