Assigning a Delegate to Handle E-Mail and Appointments While You’re Gone

8. Set whether you want copies and then click OK.
With the Delegate Receives Copies of Meeting-Related Messages Sent to
Me, your delegate gets your meeting requests and replies. You can ask to
get copies of these items placed in your Inbox, or bypass that altogether.
You might want the copies, for example, so you can review what went on
while you were gone. Select the option you want:
• To get copies of the meeting requests and replies that come in
while you’re gone, choose the My Delegates Only, But Send a Copy
of Meeting Requests and Responses to Me option.
• To allow meeting requests and replies to go to your delegate’s
Inbox only, choose the My Delegates Only option.
• To place the original meeting requests and replies in both your
delegate’s Inbox and yours so you can also reply to them, choose
My Delegates and Me.
The problem with this last option is that you might both reply differ-
ently, and who knows what Outlook would do with that.
If you choose the Automatically Send a Message to Delegate Summarizing
These Permissions option in Step 6, your delegate gets an e-mail letting him
know his duties and the permission levels you set. Your delegate can now
take over the tasks (replying to meeting requests, for example) that you
have assigned them. See “Managing Someone Else’s E-Mail and Calendar,”
later in this chapter, for more help.
