What's the best way to explain to users how to share mailboxes?
Hello,
We're moving to Exchange/Outlook 2003 from another mailsystem. We have literally hundreds of boss-secretary and functional-mailboxes. In Outlook, we're having a hard time explaining to our users -- and ourselves -- the differences between sharing mailboxes using Delegates Access, and sharing mailboxes by setting individual permissions on each folder. Can anyone explain exactly when you should use either for a shared mailbox please? Ideally, we'd like users to use the Tools - Options - Delegates tab only because it's easy to use. However, we'd also like the shared mailboxes to permanently appear in the folder list. Doing File - Open a hundred times a day is no good. Would it be a good idea to check the "folder visible" option for the "default" user at mailbox level for all mailboxes? Thanks, - Alan. |

Hi Alan,
I found this handout (PDF file) on an education website. "This handout is for employees who need to manage the calendar, mail or meetings for another employee."
