Sharing an Outlook folder
We are in a hybrid exchange environment with office 356. I am trying to share one of my outlook 2016 folders. I right click on the outlook folder I want to share and go into properties.
I go into "Permissions" and add the users. I select "Full Details" under "Read" and select "Folder Visible" under "Other". I go over to another workstation running Office 2013 and go to "Account Settings/Change/More Settings/Advanced/Add/Sele

OK. I did that. I gave review permissions to the inbox as well as review permissions to the subfolder. I restarted Outlook on both workstations and still the same error. Let me try removing and re-adding the additional mailbox to the outlook profile.

Still the same error.
You granted the user "Folder Visible" permission on all parent folders?

Sorry i should have mentioned read section titled "Partial/selective access without Sharing invitation" because this seems like the method you are taking to share the folder.

Got it. I had to start from the root down. Thank you for the help. Much appreciated.
sure thing.
ASKER
oops. The problem there is you see all the users emails
Just give view permissions. only give the full permissions to the target folder.
ASKER
That's all it has on both. People who will be having access to the shared folder only need to view the contents
On all Parent Folders Under permissions make sure Read is None, and Delete is None, and Other is Folder visible, but on the target folder set your permissions you want the user to have.

Also be sure you are doing this on each individual user or that will have these permissions and not on default or anonymous.

I took a closer look at the link you provided and missed something. Its working the way it should now. Thanks
thanks. if you think i helped please be sure to award points.
For example if you have a folder named "Test" and its a sub folder of the inbox. you will need to give the users at least view permissions to the inbox and then permissions on the subfolder Test. Then they will be able to expand the folder and view its contents, but just remember each sub folder will need view permissions of the parent folder or folders.
