Sharing Outlook Task folder

[Guest]

We are trying to share task withen our engineering group. I want to group the
task as per project (not category), so I created a folder for each project
with the tasks in the folder, all the tasks are common for all the project
but they have different due dates. When I share my task folder other people
do not see the folders and the task that I have created under it.
Under the sharing even if I give them perrmission to see the task they are
unable to see it. All they see are the task that are under my main task
folder.

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
