Change folder names of all users

I tried the following to rename a given user's folder name but I get a
permissions error (althought I have all the required permissions to access
all mailboxes).

Set myOlApp= CreateObject ("Outlook.Application")
Set mynamespace = myOlApp.Getnamespace("MAPI")
Set myRecipient = myNamespace.CreateRecipient("usernameXXX")
myRecipient.Resolve
mynamespace.GetSharedDefaultFolder(myRecipient, olfolderCalendar).Name =
"newNameXXX"

Any ideas?

Are you positive you have full Editor permissions on the user's folder via
the Delegates tab in Tools -> Options? Also, if you are a member of the
Exchange Administrators group, by default you do *not* have read nor write
permissions to other user's mailboxes.

I suspect that Owner permission is needed to change a folder name.

No, there is some way to do it because I tested applications that can do
this.
I just want to figure out how.

Thanks

I followed the Exchange instructions and I created a new group (which I
belong) with the SEND AS and RECEIVE AS permissions. Is that enough?

I don't know where "the Delegates tab in Tools -> Options" is. Gimme a clue.

Thanks!

I don't know what "Exchange instructions" you might be referring to.

In Outlook, click Tools, then Options, the look for the Delegates tab.
