My sales people have created secondary contact folders that my account
managers need to be able to view
How do I reference the non-default contact folders in view anothers folder?

Contact folders are on laptop computers syncronised to an Exchange 2000 Server

Users have Outlook 2003

To access a shared folder that isn't one of the folders listed on the File |
Open | Other User's Folder dialog, the mailbox owner needs to grant Reviewer
permission to the root of the mailbox, as well as appropriate permission on
the folder.

The user who needs access then goes into Tools | E-mail Accounts or Tools |
Services (depending on the Outlook version), brings up the properties for
the Exchange Server service, and on the Advanced tab, adds the mailbox.

For more information on folder permissions, with how-to screen shots, see
