Folder Permissions

If I give permission for somebody to have access to a folder in my inbox, how
do they view it. I don't want to give them permission to my inbox....just
that folder. Is this possible?

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 and at least Reviewer on the parent folder(s) of the folder you
want the other person to view.

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.

In your case, you'll probably want to make the folder a top-level folder,
rather than a subfolder of your Inbox.
