Maybe you a problem with the self-signed SSL-certificate? You might  
need to import/accept this certificate globally on your windows  
client. But I'm neither an Outlook nor a Windows person so others  
might provide you a better answer.

Shared folders are not meant to be used for that. They belong to no  
user and cannot provide free/busy information.

In fact the only choice.

You don't need to configure that. Any user/resource should be directly  
available within the free/busy system.

Not necessarily. The resource account is created as a user in the  
web-admin. Just make sure you mark it as a "resource account" rather  
than a standard user.

Each resource is a single user. They usually do not have several  
folders. The resources are managed via the web-admin.

Always use a resource account.

Cheers,

Gunnar
