Default Sharing Contacts Subfolders

We have recently purchased a small server and using Microsoft Small Business Edition of Office. PROBLEM: Now that we have an exchange server I can now see my colleague's contacts as I have full "owner" permission. However, I cannot see his subfolders, which is a real problem as we want to have separate folders for Clients, Other Business Contacts, and Personal Contacts. I have tried tinkering with all sorts of things and nothing seems to work. Can someone please HELP??!!

Default Sharing Contacts Subfolders

To access a shared folder that isn't one of the folders listed on the File |
Open | Other User's Folder dialog, the mailbox owner needs to grant Reviewer
permission to the root of the mailbox, as well as appropriate permission on
the folder.

The user who needs access then goes into Tools | Services, brings up the
properties for the Exchange Server service, and on the Advanced tab, adds
the mailbox.

After that, the user will see in the folder list all those folders in the
secondary mailbox to which he/she has access and can add any of those
folders to the Outlook Bar. See
http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/links.htm#addtobar.

Or, if you're not feeling that masochistic today, dump all your contacts
into one folder and use categories to sort instead.

Since this is someone else's folders that jrs was asking about, that's not
likely to be a solution in this case.
