Share Exchange Folders OTHER than Default Contacts

[Guest]

SBS Exchange 5.2 and Outlook 2003

When I go to Open Other User Folder it only allows me to open a default
Contact folder. The Help file confirms:

....You can only open the default Outlook folders for each item type. For
example, if a person has created an additional calendar, you can only open
the default calendar...

On another system where we had Outlook 2002 we could access sub-folders.
When we updraded from 2002 to 2003 the upgraded version showed the
sub-folders. However, on a new 2003 system we can no longer do this.

Is there a work-around or do I have to un-install 2003, install 2002, add
the sub-folders then install 2003.

I cannot believe Microsoft removed features going from 2002 to 2003.

They didn't. It's the method of sharing and accessing the folders you are
using.
See http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/permissions.htm for the available
methods and the required permissions you need to set for that method.

I followed the instructions from the refernce and set the permissions.
However, it still does not accomplish what I want.

I have a sub-folder 'WGI Contacts' unders my Contacts folder. My assistant
has all the necesary permissions to access it. However, when I 'Open a
Shared Folder' and point to my Exchange entry, the ONLY option it shows me is
the default top folder 'Contacts'. None of my sub-folders are shown. If I
add the 'Contacts' folder it ONLY shows the few records directly under
'Contacts' and does not show any of the sub-folders.

After I have opened a shared Calendar and Contacts folder they DO NOT APPEAR
in the folders list. In OL2002 we each have a personal .pst which is not
used very much and everyone on the team accesses the same Exchange folder,
complete with all the Sub-Folders.

I know there must be a way to do this in OL2003.

At least Folder Visible permissions (you could set more of course) need to
be set in a path to the folder so; the root, the Calendar folder and the
Subfolder. Then add the extra mailbox to your folderlist.
