    Hi

    I have two users, one of whom needs to see a inbox sub-folder on the other's account.  I have Outlook 2007 running with EXCHANGE 2010.  User A grants User B reviewer permissions to a folder within his Inbox tree. 

    When, on the second user's Outlook, I click on file-->open-->other user's folder, I can only choose between "types" of folders: contacts, calendar, inbox, etc.

    There seems to be nowhere to specify a specific sub-folder, even though I can enable sharing for each subfolder individually.

    How can User B access the email saved in the subfolder of User A. 

    Thanks

    That is the expected behaviour. To open a non-default folder you have to use a different procedure and set the permissions slightly differently.

    Hi,

    Based on  my local test, to see a sub-folder, we need to add permission on all parent folder: mailbox, Inbox, and the sub-folders. and then, open Inbox first. 

    As Simon indicates, it require different permission.
