Inherit Outlook Folder Permissions
I have a user that has about 40-50 subfolders to his Inbox that his secretary needs access to. Is there a way to grant this at the Inbox and have it filter down? It seems like it has to be done at every folder. Please help, this is such a waste of time.

In my experience, I have never been able to accomplish this. Ive just had a quick try using delegates, and even this doesnt make it work.
Sorry.
Sorry.
I am having the same problem as well, but I did find this:
http://www.symprex.com/products/folder-permissions-manager/
However, at $795 a license (1 user), it costs more than a few hours worth of right-clicking.

Can you create a new folder under the inbox > add permissions > then move all the others under the 1st?

Ran into this problem today&
Basic logic here is that permissions are not inherited by existing sub-folders but permissions ARE inherited by new sub-folders&
Came up with this work around:
1 - Create a new folder called TEMP (or whatever you want to call it)
2 - Assign that folder the desired permissions
3 - Copy your existing structure to your new TEMP folder
4 - Check to ensure that your new folder has inherited the desired permissions
5 - Rename your original&
6 - Move your new copy to its original place&
7 - Delete renamed copy after verifying all data is still intact&.
Hope this helps&

There is no way the user went through and removed her because he probably doesn't know how, and even if he did, he is too lazy to do it.
I've tried to test but I'm only testing with Office XP. Perhaps this is possible in 2003 or another way?
