Outlook Web Access - how can I adress private folders of an other users mailbox?
By the time I've only found

https:///OWA//?cmd=contents&f=TheUsersPrivateFolder

with is a bad solution to use with many different shared private folders.
(Public folders are no solution in our system)

Any help?

TIA

you didn't make it very clear what you are trying to do
If you are saying that you want to access private folders of users without their log in credentials you will not be bale to do so.
And even if that were possible I for one would not tell you how to do it

Hi,
sorry for my englisch, I'm not a native speaker.

I'dont wont to hack a postoffice, so I'll try to make my question a little bit clearer:

I have the permission to read and add elements to a folder in an other users mailbox. This works perfect in Outlook 2007 executable.

Our aim is to have a similar access in Outlook Web Access - similar especially regarding to an easy way to navigate to folders. At the moment it works like the following:

1. connect in IE7 to my own postoffice with my credentials
2. Open a second TAB (new window won't work)
3. then enter url as mentioned befor:
https:///OWA//?cmd=contents&f=TheUsersPrivateFolder

I'd like to have a Tip, how we could enable navigating to shared mailbox folders in the navigating pane of OWA (as we could do at the office with outlook executable)

TIA

.... YOU as a delegate, the private folders would automatically show up in OWA.

Obviously, you don't have delegate credentials.

As a company rule we have to set the permissions at folder level to "Level 3" for users to whom we wont to share private folders.
This works in Outlook.exe, you can open the mailbox and navigate to the shared folder. OWA behaives as mentioned before.

I've reminded myself about the possibilities to change the permissions

1- In Outlook, delegate via Tools-Options-Delegates.

2- In Outlook, give permissions directly on the folder by right-clicking the folder in Outlook and going into the Permissions tab.

3- AD Users and Computers, in the Exchange Advanced tab (this is no opportunity for end users)

We have to use (2) for some singular folders in our mailboxes.

Any additional advise?

TIA
Ulrich
