Outlook - Access another Person's Mailbox

Modified on Mon, 16 Oct 2023 at 12:10 PM

You can access another person’s mailbox if you have been granted the appropriate permissions to their mailbox.


Consider these scenarios:

  • A manager needs an assistant to monitor email on his or her behalf. In this scenario, an assistant that has been granted the appropriate permissions to a manager’s mailbox can view the manager’s mailbox.
  • A manager needs an assistant to monitor a specific folder on his or her mailbox. In this scenario, an assistant that has been granted the appropriate permissions to a folder in a manager’s mailbox can view only the contents of that particular folder of the manager’s mailbox.
