Microsoft Exchange and Outlook allow you to grant another person, known as a delegate, permission to receive and respond to meeting requests or to send e-mail messages on your behalf. You can also grant additional permissions<\/strong> that allow your delegate to read, create, or have full control over items in your Exchange mailbox.<\/p>\n \t\t

\r\n \t\t\tBe careful when granting delegate access to your Exchange Account.<\/span> \t\t\t \t\t\t\t

\r\n \t\t\t\t\tDelegates will have the ability to send mail, create meetings, and respond to meeting invites on your behalf. You should understand the level of access you are granting. \t\t\t\t<\/p>\r\n \t\t\t \t\t\t\r\n \t\t<\/div>\r\n \t\t\n
