I know how to do this but when clicking on ADD, it will not let me type
anything.

Add another person's mailbox to your account

This feature requires you to be using a Microsoft Exchange Server e-mail
account.

If you are a delegate (delegate: Someone granted permission to open another
person's folders, create items, and respond to requests for that person. The
person granting delegate permission determines the folders the delegate can
access and the changes the delegate can make.) and routinely respond to
e-mail for someone else, you may want to add their mailbox (mailbox: Location
on a Microsoft Exchange server where your e-mail is delivered. Your
administrator sets up a mailbox for each user. If you designate a personal
folder file as your e-mail delivery location, messages are routed to it from
your mailbox.) to your account for quick access. You must have been granted
at least reviewer permission to open their mailbox and see it in your Folder
List.

1. On the Tools menu, click E-Mail Accounts.
2. Click View or change existing e-mail accounts, and then click Next.
3. In the list, click the Exchange account type, and then click Change.
4. Click More Settings, and then click the Advanced tab.
5. Click Add, and then type the mailbox name of the person whose mailbox
you want to add to your user profile (Outlook user profile: A group of e-mail
accounts and address books. Typically, a user needs only one but can create
any number, each with a set of e-mail accounts and address books. Multiple
profiles are useful if more than one person uses the computer.). If you do
not know the mailbox name of the person, contact your administrator.

Outlook 2003, using Exchange 2000. Corporate email account using following
accounts. (i think that's what they are called.)

We can go and 'open' this other mail box, but doing anything in it closed
the window. The ADD button does not work. Error message "The name could not
be resolved. The action could not be completed.
