  Question
  Good day,

Using Outlook 2003, Windows XP, Exchange Server.

Although I do know Outlook very well, it seems that my memory refuses to
serve me with this: a user wants to share one folder (a sub-folder under
Inbox). Does she have to grant rights through Tools>Options>Delegates?
Because if she grants rights through the Sharing option (right-click) only,
it does not work.

Thank you!

  Answer
  To provide access to a shared folder that isn't one of the folders listed on the File | Open | Other User's Folder dialog, the mailbox owner needs to grant "folder visible" permission to the root of the mailbox and any other parent folders of the shared folder, as well as appropriate permission -- at least Reviewer -- on the shared folder itself.

The user who needs access then goes into Tools | E-mail Accounts or Tools | Services (depending on the Outlook version), brings up the properties for the Exchange Server service, and on the Advanced tab, adds the mailbox.

For more information on folder permissions, with how-to screen shots, see http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/permissions.htm and http://office.microsoft.com/assistance/preview.aspx?AssetID=HA011134811033

  Sue,

Thank you very much for the answer. That is it!

I was missing the second part of the operation.

Cheers,
Helene
