Giving Access In Exchange to view Contacts and Schedule

I'm trying to give access to others to just the calendar and contacts. I've
done something wrong - they can see the inbox and all the other folders.
Thanks

Ask your Exchange administrator to check the permissions for your mailbox.
Sounds like they might be set to grant more access than you'd like.

Thanks - I'll move this to the Exchange forum. What I was hoping to do was
set it up so that in the folders you can see, you could see just the
calendar and the contacts. When I click on accounts advanced view another
persons information, if I add their name it shows me all the other persons
folders I don't want them to see but not the calendar or the contacts.

That's exactly the way it should work ... unless, as I said, the permissions
are not set correctly. Did you check the permissions in AD yet?

I just checked in AD - I don't see any way to set rights on individual
folders with a specific users e-mail accounts.

Individual folders aren't the issue. You said people can see all the
folders. That means they probably have user/mailbox-level permissions that
are too loose.

OK - they may be too loose but they still can't see the only two folders I
want them to see. They can't see the Contacts or the Calendars.

So, check the mailbox permission settings in AD and and then the per-folder
settings for those folders.

You can use AD to check mailbox permissions and Outlook to check folder
permissions.
