How do I share a calendar subfolder with a fellow MSExchange user

[Guest]

Explaned by example:

I haev set up a team holidays subfolder in my Outlook Calandar folder and
want to share it with read/write access to the other team mebers (all on MS
Exhange server)
Whilst I can share my main calendar I cannot share this subfolder. I have
read through relevant help files and found that subfolders are not visible
unless specifically designated as such. (So it can be done, but I can't find
an explanation on how to perform the share) I have set up share options on my
subfolder, in the same way as I have for the main calendar but my colleage
still cannot see it.

Suggests welcome.

Thanks in advance

To access a shared folder that isn't one of the folders listed on the File | Open | Other User's Folder dialog, the mailbox owner needs to grant "folder visible" permission to the root of the mailbox and any other parent folders of the shared folder, as well as appropriate permission -- at least Reviewer -- on the shared folder itself.

The user who needs access then goes into Tools | E-mail Accounts or Tools | Services (depending on the Outlook version), brings up the properties for the Exchange Server service, and on the Advanced tab, adds the mailbox.

For more information on folder permissions, with how-to screen shots, see http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/permissions.htm and http://office.microsoft.com/assistance/preview.aspx?AssetID=HA011134811033
