> ## Sharing Folders

> You can share your folders with other users.

> Sharing folders is a two-step process that involves sharing and subscribing:

> 1. A user shares a folder, specifying who has permissions to the folder.
> 2. The users who were given permissions to that folder then subscribe to it.

> #### Setting Folder Permissions

> 1. Click the Folder tab.
> 2. Select the folder you want to share with others by clicking the radio button to the left of the folder.
> 3. From the Folder Actions drop-down list select Share Folder. The Share Folder window appears.
> 4. Select “Enable direct delivery of email to folder” check box to deliver mail directly to the user’s shared folder.
> 5. Enter the Name of the person with whom you want to share the folder, or if you are not sure of the Name, perform a Search. For instructions, see Searching for User Names.
> 6. From the Permissions drop-down list select the appropriate permissions for each User.

> Note | Observe the display of “Anyone” in the User column. “Anyone” includes all users that have by default “None” of the permissions assigned to them. You have the option of assigning them permissions from the drop-down list.

> Read Only. Allows users to only view the messages in the shared folder.

> Read and Write. Allows users to read and modify the contents of the shared folder and delete subfolders.

> Read, Write and Manage Access. Allows users to read and modify the contents of the shared folder, create subfolders under each shared folder, delete the subfolder, and share the folders with others.

> Note | The subfolder you create inherits the permissions of the parent folder to which it belongs. Thereafter, each folder is independent of the structural hierarchy. Hence, if the access permission of the Parent or Child folder is changed, it does not affect the access permissions previously assigned to the Parent or Child folder.

> 1. To unassign permissions assigned to a user, click Remove.
