Delegate Folder Permissions

In Outlook 2003 running exchange. I have set the folder permissions to share
a sub folder under the Inbox, however when I choose the View Other Email
Folders I only see the inbox and not the sub folder. The permissions all
appear to be correct, what am i doing wrong?
Thanks,

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.

Sue,

I have a similar problem.
I have a user -user1 - that shares a folder with user2. User2 is retiring
from the company and a replacement - user3 - is here to take over the
position.
User1 has delegated user3 as well as given permission to the folder in
question. User3 can open the folder just fine.
My problem is - there is approximately 300 subfolders that need the
permission changed to allow user3 access to them.
Is there a way to propagate permissions down?
Thanks for any info.
 
Sue,

One thing I forgot to mention is that User3 will need the ability to create
subfolders within the subfolders that already exist as-well-as add emails to
the existing folders.

I'm sure that create permissions will be needed on any folder to allow
folder creation. Is there a script that can be made to do this?

I'm sure the "folder visible" permission will not work for this scenario.
Any ideas.
 
Thanks Sue,

Unfortunately I'm running Exchange5.5, this tool's documentation says its an
Exchange2003 tool.
Any other suggestions.
