Board index » Outlook » Adding Shared Folder Shortcut to Outlook Bar

Outlook647
I am using Outlook XP with Exchange Server, running on Windows XP.



One user has a shared calendar that others in the company need to

access, and all can do so using the conventional File: Open: Other

User's Folder... command.



However, we would like to be able to put the link to the shared

calendar as an icon in the Outlook Shortcut bar.



I am able to do it on my PC (by right-clicking in the shortcut bar,

and the shared mailbox of the other user just appears as one of the

choices, under my own, and from there I can expand to see their

calendar). Other users don't see the shared mailbox at all; just their

own mailbox, personal folders, and shared folders.



I cannot figure out what is special about my setup that I am able to

see other people's shared Outlook folders in my folder list.



Any thoughts?

I presume you can see the other mailbox listed in your folder list - this

has been added in your Exchange server service in your mail profile. Is it

the same for the others? Sounds like it isn't...



If not - grant the delegate at least 'reviewer' rights to the root of the

other mailbox in Outlook. Then in the delegate's Outlook, go to the

properties of the Exchange server service, advanced tab, and add the other

mailbox there - it will now show up in their folder list.
