Kontact/Kmail and MS Exchange

Hi,
I am trying to access my exchange mailbox from Kmail. I can see all my subscribed folders quite well. However, there is a shared mailbox that does not appear in the list. Most user requests for db changes (its a dba mailbox) drop in the shared mailbox.

Is there a way to access shared mailboxes in Kmail? Maybe the terminology is confusing but the folder that I am talking off appears in Advanced settings of Outlook and its titled 'Other user's mailbox'.

Thanks.

Maybe you need another IMAP account in KMail/Kontac using that shared user's login credentials.

But then, I would need the password for the other user's account as well. This is not required when trying to access from Outlook. I believe there is a config on the server that grants access on a shared mailbox to users.

How do we get Kmail to read that grant / privilege?

How come I can never come up with something original as my signature?
