Subfolders in shared Contacts folders

I would appreciate any assistance with shared contacts
folders in MS Outlook 2003. All contacts folders and
subfolders have their sharing and permissions set.
However, I can only view the root folder. Any ideas how I
can view the subfolders within a shared contacts 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 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

Thank you so much for the prompt and informative reply.
However, the user (user2) with permissions to view the
contacts and all subfolders within the first user's
(user1) contacts folder should not see the inbox,
calendar or any other folders. Any idea how to accomplish
that?

We are on an Exchange server and if I add the mailbox in
Tools | E-mail Accounts user2 will be able to view all of
user1's folders. She has MS Outlook 2003 running.

Any help will be much appreciated.
