This feature requires Microsoft Exchange.
Just as you might have an assistant who helps you manage your incoming paper mail, Microsoft Outlook provides similar functionality by making it possible for you to give another person access to your Inbox and any other Outlook folder you want. The process of granting someone permission to open your folders, read and create items, and respond to requests for you is called delegate access.
As the person granting permission, you determine the level of access the delegate has. You can give a delegate permission to read items in your folders, or to read, create, modify, and delete items. You can give a delegate permission to send mail and to respond to mail on your behalf. The delegate can also organize meetings on your behalf and respond to meeting requests and task requests sent to you. If you grant someone access to your folders, that delegate has access to the personal items in the folders.
To use the Delegate Access feature, you must be connected to the server, and the add-in that contains the Delegate Access feature, Dlgsetp.ecf, must be set up.
Note If you want to use the Delegate Access feature, your mail must be delivered to your mailbox on the server, not to a personal folders file on your hard disk.
