Default Cannot share my folders?

When I right click on either my 'Inbox' or my 'Calendar' the option to 'Share' is greyed out yet the help does not give any indication that I am unable to do this.

I have downloaded ZD and used my email account opo and smtp settings to set up my email.

Please help...

This feature is available when you're connecting to a ZCS server, is that the type of server that you're using?

Your 'mailbox' is on a mail server, which server (and which type) is it?

I have no idea who 'moonfruit' are (nor what type of mail server they use).

If it's not a Zimbra server then you will not be able to use the Share feature as I mentioned earlier.

I'm not telling you to set-up a Zimbra server, I'm merely pointing out that the feature you're talking about only works with a Zimbra Collaboration Server.

Do you really want the effort of setting up and maintaining a mail server? If you think that's something you'd like to do then read the Product Documentation & Installation Guides (link to the Documentation is at the top of this page).
