permissions on created folders

[ssphoenix]

I know it is possible to created folder within your mailbox. I am trying to give access to certain users to the new created folders. Apparently buy selecting folder properties, security and add that user with respective permissions does not work.

When opening up the special folder I get the standard list, contact, calendar, inbox, task, and notes. How do I make the created folder part of that list?

Thanks

Sorry, at least in Outook 97 & 98 you can't open shared mailbox folders that way. Instead, the user has to add your shared folder to their Outlook folder list. First make sure that they have "reviewer" permission to the top level of your mailbox (where it says Outlook Today - your name) on your folder list. This permission allows them to expand your mailbox folders in their folder list. After you have verified that, have them open your mailbox in their folder list (have them click tools, then services, highlight Microsoft Exchange Server, click properties, click the advanced tab, click add). They will then need to type your name in and click ok twice. The folders that you have given them access to & the contents of those folders will appear in their folder list under Mailbox - your name.

You the man beckas.... not that I think of, it make perfect sense. You have to give permission at the mailbox level in order to expend the mailbox. Then I have to give permissions to the folder level with necessary permissions. Works great.

Thanks again.

You're welcome. I'm glad to hear that it worked.
