Introduction

Delegate access is a more advanced feature than just sharing your Outlook folders. If you want to grant additional permissions, such as allowing a delegate the ability to create e-mail messages or respond to meeting requests on your behalf, you must use delegate access.

Notes:

• Your mail must be delivered to your mailbox on the Exchange server, not to a Personal Folder file (.pst) on your computer.
• You and the delegate must use the same version of Outlook.

Instructions

1. Go to Tools and select Accounts.
   
   
   
   
2. In the Accounts window, click on Delegation and Sharing.
   
   
   
   
3. On the My Delegates tab, click the + sign.
   
   
   
   
4. Type the name or partial name of the person you’d like to assign as a delegate.
   
   
   
   
5. Select the name from the list and click Add.
6. The Delegate Permission options should now be displayed.
   
   
   
   
7. Choose the appropriate permissions for each item.
8. Click OK.
9. The delegate will have to configure their client in order to access your folder (see the article how to open a shared mailbox in Outlook for Mac).
