If you have the correct privileges, the easiest solution is (in Outlook) go to File, Open Special Folder Server Folder (or Open > Other Users Folder - depending on your version), then pick the appropriate Inbox/Calendar, etc.

You can also specify users as delegates who can open/read other folders (they do not need to be admins).

If you are using Outlook, go to Tools, Services, then highlight Microsoft Exchange Server, and click properties. In the advanced tab, add users to the Open these additional mailboxes box. In Outlook, that users mailbox will show up in your folder list. (To display folder list, select View, Folder List in outlook).

If you are a domain administrator, then you will have the appropriate user rights to access that mailbox.

If you are the Exchange admin, you can go into Exchange Adminstrator program and go to the properties of the former employee's mailbox and make yourself or someone else the alternate recipient ("delivery options" tab). This will forward mail to thealternate box. If you want mail to go to both mailboxes, you can check to send to recipient and alternate recipient.

Also, if you are an Exchange Administrator with full rights and you use MS Outlook, you can add the user's profile and gain full access to the mailbox. Start ->Settings ->Control Panel -> Mail ->Show Profiles -> Add profile
