Give Permission to Another Mailbox & Add to FolderList

[Mike555]

I have a user who had to take an unexpected leave. Now I need to give her manager complete access to her Outlook Mailbox (which includes deleted items, sent items, etc). How can I add her mailbox to her boss's Outlook Folder List?

Thanks.

Add the manager to the Permissions tab of the mailbox with a role of User. After the permissions have synchronised, the manager will be able to either add the extra mailbox to their Outlook profile, or create a new profile to access this mailbox.

zbnet, I only the have the option to "Send on Behalf of" in the mailbox permissions. Thanks.

This is the Permissions tab of the mailbox in the Admin program, right?

You need to log on as the user (the one which has left) and go to the top level (right at the top of the mailbox) - right-click - select permissions and add the manager as the editor. Now go to each individual folder (inbox, sent items, calendar etc) and do the same thing (right click - select permissions - add the managers name with an editor role). Now log on to the managers mailbox and add this users mailbox - what version of outlook are you running?

That will also work, but is a heck of a lot more work than doing what I already suggested, which is simply giving the manager's NT account User role on the mailbox in Admin (that takes about 10 seconds to do).

zbnet, The tab in the mailbox is for "Sending Options". I don't see a "Permissions" tab. Thanks.

Then you need to enable the Option in Admin to show a permissions tab for each object.
