- In Outlook, click E-mail Accounts on the Tools menu.
- In the E-mail Accounts dialog box, click View or change existing e-mail accounts, and then click Next.
- Click your Exchange Server account, and then click Change.
- Click More Settings.
- In the Microsoft Exchange Server dialog box, click the Advanced tab, and then click Add.
- In the Add Mailbox dialog box, type the name of the owner of the shared folder, and then click OK.
- Click OK, click Next, and then click Finish.
- In the navigation pane, expand Mailbox - UserNameOfFolderOwner, and then click the folder that the user shared to you.
To give you the Reviewer permissions to the shared mailbox, the owner of the shared folder can follow these steps:
- Follow the appropriate steps:
