5. now make all parent folders visible, otherwise the other participant will not be able to open your shared folder or subfolder. As shown in the screenshot, we make the inbox and the top container visible.
Note: If you want to share the top-level inbox or a user-defined folder, you must make the top-level container visible. If you want to share a subfolder in sections other than the Inbox (e.g. a subfolder in Calendar, Contacts, etc.), you must display the top-level folder (Calendar, Contacts, etc.).

To make a parent folder visible, right-click on this folder> Properties> Permissions> Add user to list> Activate the Folder visible checkbox> Click OK. Note: A user cannot see the contents of your inbox or another folder. However, this authorization is required so that Outlook can expand this parent folder and display the subfolder.

As soon as you grant this access, the other party can open your shared resource in their Outlook.
