How can my secretary see my Tasks using Outlook Web Access (OWA)?

I am running Windows 2008-R2, Exchange 2010, Outlook 2013.

My secretary is in another state, and is able to log into to our firm account using Outlook Web Access (OWA).  I would like for my secretary to have "Reviewer" permissions on my Outlook "Tasks" folder.

In Outlook on my computer, I right clicked on my user account in Outlook, and gave my secretary "Owner" permissions.
I also clicked on "Account Settings", "Delegate Access", and gave her "Reviewer" permissions on the "Tasks" folder.

After she logs in using OWA, she can see her Inbox, Sent Items, Tasks, etc.  

However, when she clicks "Open Other Mailbox", and types my name, and clicks Open, the following message is displayed:

"Your mailbox appears to be unavailable.  Try to access it again in 10 seconds.  If you see this error again, contact your helpdesk'.

Is there a step I am missing, that prevents my secretary from seeing my Tasks folder?

I even tried "Share your default Tasks folder with specific people", but my secretary still gets the "Your mailbox appears to be unavailable.  Try to access it again in 10 seconds.  If you see this error again, contact your help desk"

The steps below, from Microsoft support, does work, but it gives my secretary permission to view ALL my Outlook folders in OWA, instead of viewing only the "Tasks" folder:

Use the EMC to grant Full Access permission for a mailbox
________________________________________

1.      In the console tree, navigate to Recipient Configuration > Mailbox.
2.      In the result pane, select the mailbox for which you want to grant Full Access permission.
3.      In the action pane, under the mailbox name, click Manage Full Access Permission. The Manage Full Access Permission wizard opens.
4.      On the Manage Full Access Permission page, click Add.
5.      In Select User or Group, select the user to which you want to grant Full Access permission, and then click OK.
6.      Click Manage.
7.      On the Completion page, the Summary states whether Full Access permission was successfully granted. The summary also displays the Shell command used to grant Full Access permission.
8.      Click Finish.

I tested "Open Other Mailbox" in OWA and is does work, but only with full access rights.  

I will try your solution:  https://url/OWA/<youremailaddress>/?cmd=contents&module=Tasks
