Javamail - Access MS Exchange non default Mail Box

Question

Hi
My MS Exchange user has access to multiple mailboxes on an Exchange Server.
Using java mail I can connect to my default mailbox; however I cannot find away to connect to a non default mailbox that I have access to. I am using the "imap" protocol.
Connection code is as follows.
Properties props = System.getProperties();
props.setProperty("mail.imap.auth.ntlm.domain",domain);
Session session = Session.getInstance(props, null);
session.setDebug(debug);
store = session.getStore(protocol);
store.connect(host, user, password);
The function store.getSharedNamespaces() only returns a single entry in the array for "Public Folders".
The function store.getPersonalNamespaces() returns a 0 length array.
The function store.getUserNamespaces(user) returns a 0 length array.
Is there any way to access another mailbox that the user has access to?
Thanks for your help.
Nick.

Hi
As a user I will have a mail box (or mail store). My colleagues will have their own mail boxes. There will also be some shared mailboxes. Typically permissions will ensure that users cannot access other users mail boxes and appropriate permissions will ensure that shared mailboxes are accessible by the permitted users.
Within a mailbox, folders can be created for storing mails etc.
From my user account I wish to be able to access a mailbox other than my own (default). Permissions have been correctly set so the some mailboxes are accessible to other users.
If its possible to access another mailbox by using the folder, then what is the format for the folder that allows me to go beyond my users default mailbox.
Example.
I have mailboxes called.

HelpDesk
I connect to exchange as Nick1 and have access to mailbox Nick1 and HelpDesk. Using the javamail API I can access the emails and folders in the Nick1 mailbox, but cannot access the HelpDesk mailbox at all.
Does that make it any clearer?
Thanks.
Nick.
