Setting permissions on folders and subfolders

[Guest]

I have a mailbox with over a hundred folders and subfolders and need to give
access as an "owner" to a colleague. In the older version of Outlook, when I
set up permissions to the mailbox itself, it changed the permissions for all
of the folders and subfolders for me. In Outlook 2003, it is not working
that way and it seems as if I will have to set the permissions on each and
every folder and subfolder. Is this right? Please help!

You need to set the permissions at the root of the mailbox.

I did that but it didn't effect the folders and subfolders.
