I want to open another users inbox folders. How do I do this

[Guest]

I have started a new job as a PA and my new boss wants me to read his emails
and move them into the subfolders which he has opened up in his computer. He
has given me full access to his inbox but how can I get access to the other
folders? I may also need to make new ones for additional items. He doesn't
know how to give me access other than his inbox.

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 Reviewer permission to the root of the mailbox, as well as appropriate permission on the 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.
