I am running Exchange 2000 on a windows 2000 box.
Using Outlook 2002 to check mail. I am able to open other
users mailboxes for inbox, contacts etc but I am unable to
open the deleted items folder. Is there a way to add this
object in so that I may administer that folder?

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 | Services, brings up the properties for the Exchange Server service, and on the Advanced tab, adds the mailbox.

After that, the user will see in the folder list all those folders in the secondary mailbox to which he/she has access and can add any of those folders to the Outlook Bar. See http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/links.htm#addtobar.

Thank you that worked perfectly I already had the
permissions on the folders as I am the SysAdmin all I had
to do was add the account.
