accessing sub folder of a shared mailbox 'directly'
In the classic desktop version of Outlook for Windows (version 2302) or Outlook web access, if someone has been granted access by a colleague to a particular folder on a shared or user mailbox, e.g. ...
- There's no direct way to access a specific folder in a shared mailbox unless you have full access or access to the "top of the information store" folder.
Workarounds include:
1. Request full mailbox access.
2. Use folder permissions for the subfolder.
3. Delegate access for specific actions.
4. Share the calendar if it contains calendar items.
5. Manually add the folder in OWA (may not always work).
It's best to request the appropriate permission level from the mailbox owner.

Have you got any further info or links to articles on options 2 and 5 please? So I can try those manual mapping methods before we request a tweak to permissions? e.g. do you manually add the folder in OWA and specify the sub folder, e.g. mailbox @ company . com \inbox
N/B these are sub folders of inbox or the inbox folder itself, and not calendars. For info access was granted by the owner of the mailboxes via 'folder permissions' and not via an admin in Exchange itself.
