Assigning a Delegate to Handle E-Mail and Appointments While You’re Gone
738
To assign a delegate, follow these steps:
1. Choose Tools➪Options.
The Options dialog box appears.
2. Click the Delegates tab and then click the Add button.
The Add Users dialog box jumps up, as shown in Figure 1-10.
Now, if that ol’ Add button isn’t active, you may not be connected to the
Exchange network. Check the status bar to make sure that you’re con-
nected properly and that the network is not down for some reason. If
you’re connected, then the problem is that you’re trying to create dele-
gate access to a Personal Folder (.pst file). Sorry, can’t do that. Try
again with your regular Exchange Inbox.
3. From the people listed, select a workhorse (uh, delegate) to take over
your job while you’re gone. Then click Add and OK.
4. Set what you want them to do.
By default, a delegate can reply to meeting requests, and process meet-
ing replies you receive. They can also respond to task requests and task
replies. You can allow a delegate to do more if you want by changing set-
tings in the Delegate Permissions dialog box, shown in Figure 1-11.
