Junk email folder forwarding/permissions?

[moore.ben]

Hello,

An admin in our company would like rights to view a particular user's
junk email folder from within their own Outlook. We do not want to
give her rights to the user's full mailbox, but would instead prefer to
have her connect to the folder directly or have the messages forwarded
to her. Is this possible in Outlook 2003 with Exchange 2003? Thanks!

Ben

To access 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
