Exclamation Task sharing in outlook

I want to create custom task folders to share with other individuals. I dont want anyone to see my default tasks folder.



So far I have created a new folder and I chose "tasks" as the type of content. I name the folder "Tasks for Eric." I can right click on this new folder and set sharing permissions for Eric. However, when he goes into his Outlook to open the shared folder, he cannot get into the new folder I created.

We are on a network, so this should work according to what I've read online. Does anyone know why it isn't working?

Quirlap,

Please review the information below as it may help you resolve any issues you are having with sharing folders.

Share a folder

1. To share an e-mail folder, in the Navigation Pane (Navigation Pane: The column on the left side of the Outlook window that includes panes such as Shortcuts or Mail and the shortcuts or folders within each pane. Click a folder to show the items in the folder.), click Mail.
QUICK TIP: On the Go menu, click Folder List to display the folders in the Navigation Pane.
2. Right-click Mailbox - your name, and then click Sharing.
3. Click Add.
4. Select the other person that you want to give permissions to, and then click Add.
5. Select the person's name in the list, and then for Permission Level, select Reviewer.
6. Click OK.
7. Right-click the folder you want to give the other person permissions to view, and then click Sharing.
8. Click Add.
9. Select the other person you want to give permissions to, and then under Add Users, click Add.
10. Select the person's name in the list, and then for Permission Level, select Reviewer. Click OK.

NOTE: If you want the person to be able to change items, select Editor.


Sharing sub-folders

Details: To share a folder that is not directly beneath Mailbox - user name, like the Inbox, Contacts, Calendar, Notes, or Journal folders, you must do the following on each folder that is higher in the folder tree.

1. Right-click the folder, and then click Sharing.
2. Click Add.
3. Select the other user you want to give permissions to, and then under Add Users, click Add.
4. Select the user's name in the list, and then for Permission Level, select None.

NOTE: The top folder, Mailbox - Your Name, must be shared to share any folder beneath it. The Inbox folder must be shared to share any of the folders beneath it. You can set the Inbox folder permissions to None to prevent others from viewing the contents.

Open shared folders

1. On the Tools menu, click E-mail Accounts.
2. Click View or change existing e-mail accounts, and then click Next.
3. Click the Exchange Server account, and then click Change.
4. Click More Settings.
5. On the Advanced tab, under Mailboxes, click Add.
6. Type the other user's name, and then click OK twice.
7. Click Next, and then click Finish.
8. You might need to quit and restart Outlook for the other person's folders to appear in your Navigation Pane.

Hope this helps.

Mophead
