For example, an employee who has departed from the organization may have some important information in his mailbox; or the employee could be on vacation and co-workers need info that's in the mailbox. Whatever the situation, before accessing another user's mailbox, or allowing a user to access another user's mailbox, make sure you get permission from upper management. That accomplished, here's a procedure to follow when accessing mail from another user's mailbox. At the Exchange Server In most cases the Permission Page is hidden. To un-hide the permission page: - Click on tools, and then select options. - Select the permission tab. - Click on show permissions for all objects. - Select the user's mailbox that you want access. - Then click on the permissions tab. - Click on the Add button to add a user (the person assigned to read the user's mail). - Under roles, assign the user the same rights as the current user. You have options to assign various rights depending on what level of access required. - Click OK to return to the Exchange Administrator screen. At the Client >From Outlook Client perform the following: - In Outlook, click on Tools then select Services. - Double click on Microsoft Exchange Server. - Click on the Advanced Tab. - Click on the Add button to open the Add Mailbox dialog box. - Then type the display name of the user's mailbox. - Click OK until you return to Outlook main screen. The mailbox will appear on the main Outlook screen in the folder pane. Here are a couple of things you should consider when you access mail from another user's mailbox: - If the user has created a personal store file on the local hard drive, then you won't be able to access the mailbox. - When you reply to a message, the "From" field will display the user who was granted permission to read mail. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Adesh Rampat has 10 years experience with network and IT administration.
