Outlook: Sharing Child Folder Permissions

I have a group mailbox created that I have assigned owner permission to two other users. These users need equal access to the Inbox and all folders created within.

What I am finding is that they can see all messages that are at the top level of the inbox, but for each folder, I have to assign permissions separately - including the child (sub) folders.

For example, the structure is this:

InBox
Project X
Task A
Task B
Project Z
Task A


If permissions are assigned at the Project X level, the permissions are not transferred to Task A folder.

Is there an easier way - other than doing it folder-by-folder, of granting global access to parent/child folders within Microsoft Office?
 
I assume that you are using some ver of MS server and probably exchange.

These 'group folders & calendars' are not fully controlled via OL and especially the permissions. If you have admin rights on the server, you can set the permissions on the folders in question with the option of propogating to all contained folders.
