Sharing Folders with Outlook 2003

[RJ]

Office 2003 running with MS Exchange Server

I recently tried sharing a subfolder under my Outlook 2003 Inbox with
a co-worker. When they tried to access the subfolder, it was not listed
in the drop down list box of available folders. Only major folders, like Inbox
were listed. So, I shared my entire Inbox as well as the subfolder. Once I did this,
they could see all the email in my Inbox, but none of the subfolders.

Geez. What a pain. So - can you not share Inbox subfolders?
Does sharing only work with major folders in Outlook? And if so,
then why do you have the option to share a subfolder? Am I doing
something wrong (right click the folder, click Sharing, and set the permissions).

You can share sub folders, the command "Open other users folders" only
allows you to see the folders that you see when assigning a Delegate. To
share a sub folder you need to give Reviewer Permission at the rot of the
mailbox and then the other user needs to add your mailbox to their profile
by going to Tools || Email Accounts || NEXT || Highlight Exchange and select
Change then More Settings || On the Advanced Tab select Add and then type in
your User Name || OK || NEXT || Finish. Select Folder list from the "Go"
menu (or Ctrl+6) and you should see the mailbox you have just added.
