In Microsoft Outlook, how do I view other users' calendars, or other folders to which I have access?
If you have permission to access any folders in another user's Exchange mailbox in Outlook, you can open the folders on demand. If you need more frequent access to them, or access to a subfolder, you can add another user's mailbox to your Outlook Folder List. For more on folder permissions in Outlook, see In Outlook for Windows, how do I allow other users to view my Calendar or other folders in my Exchange mailbox?Opening another user's folder on demand in Outlook 2010, 2007, or 2003

to select the person's name from the Address Book. Note: You can only open the mailbox of another Exchange user.
