Default 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."

"Delegation vs. Folder Sharing"
