How to give permissions to a folder in a mailbox

Description: In this article you will learn how to give someone permission to a specific folder in your mailbox.

This is especially useful if you have a lot of folders in our Outlook inbox and you only want another user to have access to a specific folder under your inbox. Or maybe you want them to have access to only your sent items, or maybe only your drafts.

To give access simply go to that folder, right click and click properties.

Click on the permissions tab and click 'Add' to add the user you want to give permissions to.

Find and select the user from the global address list and click 'ok'.

Select the level of permission you want to grant and click 'ok'.

The user you have just granted access to can simply open the folder from their own Outlook.
