Notes:

  • In the Message section of the Share Properties dialog box, the "Send standard message" option will send mail to the person specified in the Email box with an invitation to manage your calendar. See the "Working with Someone Else's Shared Calendar" section for details on what this looks like from the other person's perspective.

Working with Someone Else's Shared Calendar
