Best way of sharing a mailbox with a large group?
We have a a subgroup of people within a department at my work that consists of approximately 25 people. The supervisor of this group wants to have an email account set up for orders so everybody within this subgroup can view the mailbox by adding this new mailbox to everybodys current Outlook profile. Because it would be impossible to manage permissions for each individual for each folder, I wanted to add the security group, from AD, that encorporates this subgroup of users and simply give it full access permissions to the mailbox. However this isn't working. In my experience with Exchange 2007, I can add an individual user to the full access permissions (for example, my test user account) and it will work but when I add my test user to the group and only set the full access permissions to that security group I can't view it. Anybody have any experience with this or have a suggestion of a better/different way of getting this to work?

Thanks for your help. This is essentially what I was already doing, just through the GUI. I've been running Office 2010 beta on my machine and thats where the problem was. As soon as I tested it on a machine with Office 2007 installed, it worked flawlessly.
