Default SHARING FOLDERS IN THE CONTACT FOLDERS POSSIBLE?

2003/XP

I am on an office network. We can give each other permission to share our
contacts folder. Is it possible for co-workers to see folders that are
WITHIN the contact folder? Not DL's, but actual folders. The question comes
up because we have muptiple DL's that we want to share, but don't want to
store these in our contacts folder, because then co-workers have access to
the entire list of contacts in the contacts folder, and not just the DL's.

Right now we're using a work-around. Storing the DL's in the contact
folder, and our list of contacts in a sub-folder within the contact's folder.


Thanks for ideas . . .

Yes. You need at least Folder Visible permission to every parent folder of
the one in question and then Reviewer access on that folder.

The question comes up because we have muptiple DL's that we
want to share, but don't want to store these in our contacts folder,
because then co-workers have access to the entire list of contacts in
the contacts folder, and not just the DL's.


Why not use a public folder instead of a shared mailbox folder?
