The setup:
Using Ex2k and Ol2k clients. Servers are 2k A/D. Exchange server is on
Domain1 and the clients machine are on Domain2. there is a trust between the
domains.
    All clients use Exchange Server for their email. This was accomplished
by having each user have accounts in both domains and adding the domain2
users to the domain1 "mailbox rights".

The problem:

    I am trying to share ONLY the calendar of a user called jerry. There is
group that needs to manipulate his calendar but not to sniff his email.

    I set the permissions on jerrys folders by right clicking the calendar
folder and seting the people I want to have access etc. (note that I can
only select from the list of people on Domain1, I think thta could well be
part of the problem however...)

    On the clients machine I have him add Jerrys mailbox to the "other
mailboxes" section of the advanced tab and it then shows up in the folder
list as it should.

    When the user tries to expand the folder list for jerrys mailbox, he
can't , the message
"Unable to open folder, could not access the specified folder location, the
operation failed" is all that happens.

(... however... If he right clicks on his own mailbox (in folder view) and
selects "open other users folder", He is allowed access to jerys email,
calendar whatever).

    If I go into Exchange Server and set jerrys "mailbox rights" to include
these clients, they can add him to the "other mailboxes" sections and
everything is visable in his mailbox and all is functional. But that isn't
what I want to do.

    My question is two fold,

1st, how can I share JUST the calendar portion of his account while keeping
the rest secured?

2nd, less important but interesting anyway Why can the client see jerrys
mailbox contents using "open other users folder" even without any
permissions set for him, while he isn't able to by clicking to expand his
mailbox tree? Isn't it the same thing?
