Sharing Sent Items folder

[Richard]

Hi,

I use Outlook 2003 in an Exchange 2003 environment. The
Sent Items folder of an account can be shared by right-
clicking, select Sharing, and setting the permissions.

But how can another user now access this shared folder?
If they click File | Open | Another User's Folder, the
Sent Items folder is not listed.

Presumably it must be possible for User B to do this,
otherwise it wouldn't make sense for User A to be able to
share the Sent Items folder in the first place.

Thanks for any help you can give!

There are only a few folders that you can access using the File > Open
method, to access other folders then the mailbox has to be added to the user
who wants to do the accessing, this is a 2 stage process.

First Stage:
The mailbox that you want to share needs to grant a Permission at Root
folder level of Reviewer, by right clicking the root folder and selecting
Share.

Second Stage:
The user who wants to access the Share then needs to add the "Shared"
mailbox to their Profile by going to Tools > Email Account > Next >
highlight Exchange > Change > More Settings > Advanced > Add > the mailbox
name > OK > Next > Finish. This new mailbox will appear in the Folder List.
