Hi,
We are running outlook 2003. I have gone to the subfolder in my inbox and
gave the coworker reveiwer rights. When I send the email to the coworker
with the hyperlink pointing to my subfolder, the user gets the following
error when they click onthe link. "Unable to display the selected folder or
item. Could not coplete the operation. On or more parameter values are not
valid." My link looks like outlook"\\mailbox - My Name\Inbox\Gene
 
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

I was following the steps to "Send a folder short cut" in outlook how to. Is
it possible to send an email folder to someone else, and let them look inside
the folder by just having the user click on the link?
 
No, I don't think that will work (although it used to in older versions).
