For how long? remember, a mailbox is part of a user account. If you delete
the user account, the mailbox will stick around for a while, but you won't
be able to connect to it using the method you're trying. Just disable the
account until you're ready to kill the mailbox (which you should be able to
do when you've gotten everything out of it, or dumped it out to a PST file).

Did you grant rights to the Amy account? Doesn't sound like it. Set up an AD
security group called Exmail - and add yourself & whomever else to it. Then
grant Full Mailbox access to the Exmail group, to all the ex employee
mailboxes (or to the specific mail store itself if you wish). Then any
members of that group will have access to the mailboxes in there.

I'd start over - undo everything you did the first time - including, remove
the extra mailbox from your Outlook profile. You'll add it back in later,
after you change the permissions.
And you don't need to go into the Security tab - all you need is "full
mailbox rights" granted via the button in the ADUC properties. And note that
unless you restart your Exchange services immediately afterwards, it can
take a while for the permissions changes to take effect.
