Calendar and Email Folder Sharing and Permissions

By default, no one has any permissions to access/view your emails and they can only view free/busy for your calendar. If someone needs more permission than the default provide, you will need to grant them access. Permissions may not go into effect instantaneously, please allow time for changes to run through the system.
