 Notes

• If the shared folder is several layers deep within the original folder structure from the person who is doing the sharing, you will need to continue clicking the arrow icons next to the folder names for each layer until you arrive at the folder you have rights to. You will know you are at the shared folder once you reach a folder that does not have the arrow icon next to it. Clicking that final folder will display the messages of that folder
