Allow viewing of Outlook calendars without access to users' email

I want to give access to my calendar to individuals but I don't want them to view/read emails.
How do I do this?
We are using Exchange 2010 and Outlook 2010.

Set-MailboxFolderPermission

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff522363(v=exchg.141).aspx

or you may use Outlook delegation option
Just add them to your calendar.  You can set the permission on exchange using exchange powershell if you want.

Add-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity "*TargetUser*:\Calendar" -User "*User*" -AccessRights Reviewer


Remove-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity "*TargetUser*:\Calendar" -User "*User*" -AccessRights Reviewer

Or in outlook you can add them yourself by the following:

Right-click your calendar and choose properties > Permissions Tab > Add user (you can assign the permissios below for custom or use the permission level.

This gives access to your calendar only and buy default the users can already see your calendar but its only free/busy mode.

They want the users that they give permissions to, to be able to see all content of the calendar, but not to be able to read their emails.
Settings the permission to Reviewer will allow them to see the contents of the calendar appointments.  You would increase the permissions assigned in order to maybe later on allow them to make calendar appointements and so forth but reviewer permission should be fine.

They wont be able to access email or anything like that.  They would open their outlook and add shared calendar

How about setting permissions on the inbox folder?
Do you want to be able to see email?  This is only for the calendar permissions with email excluded
