Accessing another mailbox's sub folders?

[Thief_]

I have access to another user's Inbox, but the other user has a sub folder
in his Inbox which I also need access to. I can only access his Inbox but
not the subfolder. Also, I would like to see his Outlook folders when I open
his Inbox- is this possible? How can I display his Inbox and my Inbox
side-by-side?

Office2003, Exchange2003

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

You'll need to add his account as a secondary account and he'll need to give
you view permissions to the subfolders.

tools, accounts, view accounts... select exchange account and click Change,
then More Settings - look on the second tab.
