Important You should not rely on the Private feature to prevent all access by other people to the details of an appointment, contact, or task. To make sure that other people cannot read the item you marked as private, do not grant them Read permission to your Calendar, Contacts, or Tasks folder. A person who is granted Read permission to access your folders could use programmatic methods or other e-mail applications to view details in a private item. Use the Private feature only when you share folders with people you trust.
