Results

Note: If you give someone access to write mail for you, the mail they write for you is sent under your name. If you give someone access only to read mail for you, then the mail they write for you is sent under their name.
Note: When you give people access to your mail, they cannot read encrypted mail that you receive. Additionally, you cannot read encrypted messages they create for you unless your user ID contains the encryption key used to encrypt the messages.
Important: Delegates with Reader access on your mail file can also read calendar entries marked Private.
