Folder Sharing

[PJ Usher]

Exchange 2003

Outlook 2003



In the Microsoft Office Online document titled "share and open other
people's folders" the document states "For example, to give another person
access to a folder that is under Inbox in your mailbox, you must grant
permissions to the Mailbox, Inbox, and the subfolder. Even though it might
appear you're granting the other person access to more folders than you
want, only the items in the Inbox subfolder will be available"



However when I tested the procedure, I was able to read everything in the
mailbox. I tried this several times and I get the same results every time.

I followed the simple instruction EXACTLY. Is there a step missing? Or is
it that I will have the rights to view everything in the mailbox and I
misread the above quoted passage thinking that it would only share the
subfolder in the Inbox? If so, is there another way to share an email
folder without sharing the entire mailbox?



Any clarification and/or help is greatly appreciated.



Thank again.

Which permissions did you set on the parent folders? "Folder Visible"
permissions is enough.

Hi
Changed the permission to Folder Visible instead of Permission Level
"Reviewer" as indicated in the document, referred below.
Works great. Can only see the emial folder the user wanted to share. Thank
you very much.
