Displaying Shared Folders

[Joe]

At the left of my Outlook 2003 window, I have my contacts displayed. There
are "My Contacts" and "Other Contacts". What is the difference and how can I
manipulate the display to show the folders in one or the other? I like
having "Other Contacts" separate, but don't know how to tell Outlook where
to put the folders.

My Contacts are contacts folders in Exchange mailboxes and .pst files. Other Contacts includes folders in Public Folders\Favorites. You can't do much with the display other than move folders up or down in either list. Outlook 2007 provides a little more tweaking.

No, you should not assume that. Just because you have permissions on a folder doesn't mean that Outlook knows you want to look at it. Once you view a shared mailbox folder, it will be in the list.
