Delegating access to your mailbox

Delegating access to your mailbox

Overview

When you're away and not able to pick up your email, you can set up and out of office to tell people that you're not available.  You may like to forward your emails to someone else or set up Mailbox Delegation so that the mails reach someone that can manage these whilst you are away.

Method - Mailbox Delegation

  1. Log into your webmail
  2. Click the Settings cog in the right-hand panel
  3. Scroll down to Sharing and delegation and click it


  4. Go to add delegates and put in the email address you wish to delegate your email to - it must be a member of your organisation, not a group email address or an external email address.  


  5. You can then choose whether the person can read your emails or write (manage and reply in your mailbox).


  6. When you click "delegate" you'll get a confirmation warning; if you're happy, click "Send delegation invite"
