SYMPTOMS
========

When you try to view another person's calendar using the Microsoft Exchange
Client or Outlook Client, the following error message occurs:

  Unable to display the folder. The calendar folder could not be found.

CAUSE
=====

This error is a permission problem with the other user's calendar folder.
Permission to view or read another user's folder is optional.

NOTE: By default there are no permissions.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, follow these steps:

1. In the Microsoft Exchange or Outlook Client, click the user's Calendar
  folder.

2. Go to the Properties page of this folder either by right-clicking on the
  folder or through the File menu.

3. Choose the Permissions tab to view current permissions. By default you will
  see the name "Default" with a Role of "none." If the role for Default is
  modified, it sets the permissions for everyone with access to a Microsoft
  Exchange or Outlook Client to view the calendar.

MORE INFORMATION
================

This permission problem is the same for all Microsoft Outlook folders, such as
the Inbox, Contacts, Tasks, Journal, and Notes folders.
