Outlook 2007 - Some folders have a "hand" icon, meaning?

[GRakaska]

I have searched and "googled" endlessly and have not found an answer. Some of
my Outlook 2007 folders had a plain folder icon, and some haver a folder with
a "hand" on it, similar to the one used on Windows Explorer folder shares.

What odes that indicate??

That you can share them. AFAIK, it only happens in Exchange mailboxes and
only if the folder was created in Ol2007. If you access the mailbox with
Outlook 2003 and make a folder it will not have the hand when you open it in
2007.
