Outlook 2003 Delegation

[Pdog]

I cannot seem to find a way in Outlook 2003 for UserA to delegate their complete mailbox including all folders to UserB without individually selecting each individual folder (Or using the Delegation tab)

I can assign UserB the Full access permission on the Mailbox in Active Directory Users and Computers, But I would prefer the users to do be able to delegate access rather than the Administration team.

The reason this has cropped up We are migrating from Lotus Domino to Exchange 2003. In Domino a user could delegate their entire mail file and that would be it.

Users at the moment are having to individually select the folders on an individual basis.


Any Ideas?

Tools - Options - Delegates or Right click on Mailbox - "name" select sharing is the only way to do it withing Outlook it self afaik. Does either of these meet your criteria?

They do,

But for any folder other than the inbox, users would have to individually added to each folder. So if userA wanted to share 20 folders from within his mailbox, UserA would need to add UserB to every folder.

I don't think in Outlook you can set the delegates permissions once for every folder. It has to be done on a folder by folder basis.


Asking users to do this, coming from Domino environment where it is a lot simpler is difficult.
