How do I set up a Shared folder in Outlook 2003?

As that article describes, did you also share the mailbox root folder? Did
the other person add the mailbox?
 
Sue,

Although you replied and set out a good couple of points I would rather have
had the instructions on how to set up the other person because these are the
steps I am missing and I can't seem to find anything about it - like, go the
other person's PC and do this (Step 1, Step 2, etc.) after you have finished
all the other steps I set out in my instruction sheet. In fact, I was
thinking that maybe your instructions "Open shared folders" maybe the steps
to use at the other users PC as well as my own? Would that be correct?
 
This pretty much repeats what's in the article you cited, but since you want
to see it again...

The mailbox owner needs to grant Reviewer permission to the root of the
mailbox, as well as appropriate permission on the folder. Do this on the
Properties dialog for the each folder, including the root folder.

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.

Sue,

I just wanted to say that I finally resolved the problem by redoing all the
instructions over again and then understanding (although it is not really
very clear to a new Outlook user) that the last set of instructions "Open
shared folders" must also be carried out at the other Users PC (each of them).

Thanks for all your responses and help.
