You cannot create Group folders in the Windows client. You must create them using the MS-DOS client. If you have Mail for Windows version 3.0b or later, you can access Group folders that were created using the MS-DOS client. However, the Group folder will show up under Shared folders for everyone to see, but only members of the group will be permitted to access the folder.

Further information on Shared and Group folders is discussed in Chapter 6 of the MS-DOS User's Guide.
