If you would like to give someone permissions to access any email folder, there are three steps.

Step 1: You need to give the person permission to access your account name (e.g., Jane Doe)

Step 2: You need to give the person permission to access your primary folder (Inbox)

Step 3: You need to give the person permission to access each Folder/Subfolder you want to share

The process for sharing your Mailbox and your Individual folders is the same. 

Step 1: Permission to access your account name (e.g., Jane Doe)

1. Open Outlook
2. Click Mail in the bottom-left corner of the window
3. Right-click your account name
   
   
4. Click Data File Properties
5. Click the Permissions tab
6. Click Add..and add the person(s) with whom you wish to share your folder and click OK
7. Click the person(s) and select Folder visible under Other
8. Click Apply and OK

Step 2: Permission to access your primary folder (e.g., Inbox)

2. In the Untitled - Appointment window
3. Click to put a checkmark in the All day event box or next to the start and end times for a specific time.
4. Fill out the remaining fields as you would for an appointment. By default, if someone schedules a meeting for that day, the Scheduling Assistant will show you as free, but you can change this to show you as busy all day with the Show As drop-down list in the toolbar
5. Click Save

1. Open Outlook 
2. Click File
3. Click Open & Export
4. Click Other User’s Folder
5. Type the shared account email address, then click OK 
   Note: If the account is hidden from the Global Address List (GAL), Outlook will not be able to find the account to open it.

Step 1: Start the Import 

1. Open Outlook
2. Click People
3. Click File > Open & Export > Import/Export
4. Choose Import from another program or file and click Next
5. Choose Comma Separated Values and click Next
6. Click Browse and locate the saved CSV file.
7. Under Options, choose Do not import duplicate items. 
8. Click Next and choose where you want to store your new, imported contacts. Contacts should be selected by default. If you want a different folder, scroll to find the folder you want to use.
9. Click Next.
10. Make sure the check box next to Import “Filename.csv” is selected.
11. Don't click Finish yet, because you need to "map" some of the columns in your CSV file to the contact fields in Outlook.

Step 2:  Map your CSV file columns to Outlook contact fields 

1. Click the Map Custom Fields button. The Map Custom Fields box appears.

   • Under From, a box shows the column names from your CSV import file

   • Under To, you see the standard fields that Outlook uses for contacts. If one matches a column in the CSV file, you'll see your column under Mapped from.

2. You'll probably need to do some manual mapping. For example, in the following example, in your import file the contact's home phone number is in a column named Email Account. This doesn’t have an exact match in Outlook. Instead, Outlook uses the field Email Address.
3. Drag Email Account from the pane on the left and drop it on Email Address in the right pane.  Email Account now appears in the Mapped from column. One at a time, drag the rest of the values from the left pane to the appropriate Outlook fields in the right pane. 
4. Click OK and Finish.  

Step 3: Create your contact group 

1. Click People
2. Under My Contacts, pick where you want to add the contact group. For this example, click Contacts.

5. Click Add Members > From Outlook Contacts
