Actually, this isn't true. Permissions can be set remotely. The person granting the delegation should launch Outlook 2007 and go to Tools > Options and click the delegation Tab. That dialog is pretty much self explanatory from there. That will enable another user to send on behalf of the first user. If the first user also wants to grant permission to read and edit folders they can also do that from within Outlook 2007. The first user would right click on the folder which they would like to share and the click the "Sharing" selection in the pop up menu. The settings for each user being granted permissions can be pretty granular from there. Using Outlook to set delegation and sharing permissions is the preferred method of doing this since normally most users would not have access to the Active Directory management tools. OK, now with that all said, I have been abel to do all of that fine with JFW. What I can't figure out how to do with JFW is compose a new message (as a delegate) on behalf of another user. I have been able to send email on behalf of that other user if I reply or forward one of their emails in one of their folders but how do I compose an email from scratch on their behalf? Thanks Frank Ventura

You probably know the below as well but thought I would paste it just in case. As I understand it you cannot assign permissions remotely . In Microsoft Windows Server 2003, open Active Directory Users and Computers. On the View menu, click Advanced Features. Under the domain node, click Users. Open the user account that you want to add Send As permissions to. On the Security tab, click Add. In the Enter the object names to select box, type the display name or user name of the person to whom you want to grant Send As permissions. Multiple users can be added by separating each entry with a semicolon. Click OK. In the Permissions list, click Send As, and then select the Allow check box. Tip To determine whether a delegate has Exchange Send As permissions or only Outlook Delegate Access Send on Behalf permissions, ask the delegate to create a new message and send it to his or her own e-mail account. Make sure the delegate enters the name for the other mailbox in the From box, for example, the manager's name. When the message is received, if both names appear in the From box along with the text "on behalf of," the delegate has only Outlook Delegate Access Send on Behalf permissions. As the person granting permission, you determine the level of access that the delegate has to your folders. You can grant a delegate permission to read items in your folders or to read, create, change, and delete items. By default, when you add a delegate, the delegate has full access to your Calendar and Tasks folders. The delegate can also respond to meeting requests on your behalf. If you want to allow the delegate to see all of the messages in your Inbox, you must grant additional permissions. Instructions for granting permissions are included in the Turn on Delegate Access section. If you grant someone access to your Exchange folders, that person has access to all items in the folders except those marked private. Instructions for allowing delegates to view private items are included in the Choose items that cannot be viewed by a delegate section. Items in subfolders are not available to the delegate unless you change the sharing permissions on the subfolder or you create a new subfolder. New subfolders inherit the folder access permissions of the parent folder. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Frank Ventura Sent: Wednesday, 11 November 2009 01:30 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Sending mail as a delegate in Outlook 2007 Hi David, thanks but I wasn't asking about selecting an account from the accounts drop down menu (alt plus N in Outlook 2003 or alt plus A in Outlook 2007). What I was asking about was sending mail from someone else's mailbox which I have opened as a delegate. When using Exchange 03 or 07 you can open up another mailbox without adding it as an account assuming the owner has assigned you the correct sharing permissions.

I imagine that it is similar in 2007. 1. You need an account set up in Outlook obviously before you can send from it. 2. create the new mail or reply to be in the email you want to send. 3. Press the alt key once . 4. Press control plus tab to move focus to the toolbar. 5 cursor once rightwards and on my outlook 2003 you land on the Accounts button . On 2007 it may be located slightly differently. 6. pres the down cursor arrow and you will be able to select a sending address from all the available accounts in Outlook. 7. Press enter and this is the address that will be inserted in the from field. If there is more than one toolbar in Outlook 2007 you may have to press control tab more than once to cycle to the one you need but I think this first one is the one you normally need. Hope this is what you are looking for.

I have been made a delegate of another user and I can open and read their mailbox (in addition to my own). And if I reply to one of the messages in their Inbox it gets sent with their email address as the "From" field. With JFW how can I compose a new email with the other persons address as the "From" field?
