Outlook 2013 share individual mailbox folder
Hi
we are running Exchange 2013 using outlook 2013 for some clients and outlook 2010 for others. I am trying to share a folder from my mailbox to another user. I give that user 'folder visible' permission on my root mailbox then I give them editor permission on a specific folder. When I ask the user to access, it doesn't like all my folders nor are they able to select inbox. This is the case for both Outlook 10 and 13.
I have no issue sharing calenders or giving permission for mailboxes, but I need to be able to share individual folders.
I have read somewhere that it is possible using cached mode, but this is not ideal for RDP based users or desktop machines. Is there a way to do it without caching?

ok 2 things
1. you will need to close and then reopen both your outlook and their outlook before permissions like this work
2. I would say that the better method is to add the mailbox to the left hand panel.

The above tutorial will take you through how to add the mailbox. this means the user who wants your mailbox must do this.

Hi
I will try closing both outlooks.
I do not want to share my mailbox out... just that folder. There must be a way to do this.

Also, when I go to add the folder via file >open, should it say the actual folder name or just inbox as it currently does? I can also see calender, tasks etc there.

Just tried closing and opening both outlooks but it did not work.
if you add it my way he/she will only see that folder you have shared.. nothing else.

Apologies, but I have followed your steps and it is not working. Can you confirm what you see in the drop down next to 'folder type' in the Open Other User's Folder window? Can you see the folder name you are sharing?
you can only open inbox as the inbox folder. you cannot share other folders using this method.
Try adding the mailbox as per above. it will only show the user the 1 folder they have access to.

AHHH! DING DING DING WINNER!
excellent. thanks.
excellent. thanks.
haha glad you like it.. the easiest way is the whole mailbox adding option.. but just pull the folder you wish to share on the same level as the inbox or you have to share each folder level before that folder ^_^

Appreciate your help.
I just tried that with the same result. I have attached some screen shots.
