SUMMARY
=======

After you create a new replica of an existing public folder, data may not
initially be available for some users.

MORE INFORMATION
================

The public folder hierarchy possesses a higher replication value than the
folder's content. Depending on affinity, clients local to the newly created
replica may see it as accessible but void of content until the data has also
been completely replicated. This is often seen on public folders with large
content or where the replica is being copied over a slow or heavy traffic link.

This is by design.

Additional query words: public folder empty missing
