Sharing other than default Contacts folder

[Guest]

Hello,
sorry if my terms are not accurate, I have Finnish interface...

In my Outlook 2003 I have default contact folder which iI have succesfully
shared with my co-workers. Now I created new folder, lets say my_contacts,
and I shared that one too (clicking the right mouse button and Sharing...)
but it doesnt show.

I do not have rights to create new folder under the public folder and even
if I could ask the admin to create the folder, I would like to know why the
other folder (my_contacts) doesnt show.

Third party software is out of the question.

There is propably an answer somewhere in these forums, I checked couple of
dozen posts, but I couldn't pinpoint an answer to my question. Any help
appreciated.

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
