Changing users permisions to access a mailbox?!?!?

[safarijoe2000]

Hi All

I have just setup a new PC on our network here, and we are trying to access an email account which is also being used by another user! Whenever I try to access the mailbox, it comes up with the error - "You do not have permission to logon, unable to open the mailbox."

Is there a setting on MIcrosoft Outlook or Exchange server where a username can be entered to give permissions to logon to another mailbox.

Thanks in advance

Damien

Its on the exchange consol , just go to mailboxes and you will find the permissions

What is, and where is, the exchange console?

He means the "Exchange System Manager". It's in the programs menu on the Exchange server, at least. It can also be installed on other servers and computers for convenience.

Can't the user whose mailbox it is just set up a delegate? Look up delegate permissions in Outlook help and it should give some info.

Are you trying to access this mailbox....secretly? First, get permission! Secondly, if you're in the Exchange Admin security group, and you're running OWA, you should be able to go to

http://exchangeservername/Exchange/username.

What version of Exchange are you running?
