receive the following error message:

  Unable to display the folder.

MORE INFORMATION

In Outlook 98 and Outlook 2000, the Owner of a public folder can limit the
ability to view the folder contents to Owners only. To do so, if you are a
public folder Owner:

1. In Outlook, open the folder properties.

2. Click the Administration tab. Under "This folder is available to", click the
  Owners Only option button. If you click the "All Users with access
  permission" option button, other users will be able to view the folder
  contents.
