Hello.
I am trying to give read permissions to Poli's mailbox to George in order George have access to Poli's mailbox (not full access..)
I use this command

Add-MailboxPermission Poli -User George -AccessRights readpermission

But when i try to expand the mailbox in outlook i get the following msg
"Unable to expand the folder.The set of folders could not be opened.The opration failed"

when i give full access

Add-MailboxPermission Poli -User George -AccessRights
fullaccess

I have access to Poli's mailbox, but i need just read access

Any idea what i am doing wrong ?

Thank you in advanced

ps.. In owa, shall i give grand access in order one user to see other's mailbox
 
Are you using File, Open, Other User's Folder and choose person and Inbox or their mailbox specified in Advanced?
 
Yes i did that.. But i cannot expand and see the mailbox folders (inbox, sent items ..and so)
 
Right. Because you have no access to the mailbox, you can probably only do File, Open rather than using Advanced.
 
But i just need read access to the mailbox.
I googled and find out somewhere that the Add-MailboxPermission does not refer to the mailbox itself but just give grand access to the account to read the permissions of the mailbox.. So if i want some to read others mailbox i will have to do it via outlook and delegates .
Am i right ?
I cannot find how i can do it from the exchange console.. I can give Full access from there, but that does not solve my problem
