sharing & accessing Inbox subfolders

We are using Outlook 2007 and Exchange 2007 server.  One user created a subfolder under her Inbox with documents and would like another user to be able to access the subfolder's contents only.  She right clicked on the subfolder, clicked on "change sharing permissions" and added the user with customized permissions.  The other user from their Outlook then clicked File > Open > Other User's Folder > and selected the original user's name from the list.  However the only options available for opening were "Calendar, Contacts, Inbox, Journal, Notes, Tasks".  When clicking "OK" the second user received the error: "cannot display the folder. the inbox folder cannot be found."  What step are we missing?

Will those steps work for sub calendars as well?
If you dont want the other user to see the contents of the parent folders then you need to mark the permissions as none on each parent folder until you get to the child folder that you want them to have access to.Then set the permissions that you want them to have.
