I am trying to share a folder that I created in Outlook 2003. I have
granted my collegue publishing editor rights to it but how do they see this
folder? I do not see any options to open a shared folder. When I
File\Open\open other user's folder I only see inbox etc as folder type.
This is just a folder I created.
 
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 Reviewer
permission to the root of the mailbox, as well as appropriate permission on
the folder.

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
