Manage Another Person’s Email and Calendar Items

markjbrown — Tue, 18 Oct 2022 14:49:35 +0000

Note

�Ӱ�ԭ��

There are two ways to work with another person’s Outlook folders — sharing folders and entrusting someone to act on your behalf (delegate).

Folder sharing lets other people access to specific folder(s). However, it does not include permissions for them to act on your behalf. For example, a person who can access your folders can’t reply to email messages or respond to meeting requests for you.
Using Delegate Access , you can give someone permission to act on your behalf. For example, you might have an assistant that you want to create and respond to meeting requests for you. Some assistants might also monitor a manager’s Inbox and send email on behalf his or her behalf.

Full detail on how to manage your inbox access are found

Folder sharing – How to Share Specific Folders in Outlook

User Granting Access Steps

Open Outlook Desktop App
Grant Access to Mailbox Root (is displayed as MC1username@cunet…)
- Right-click on the root > Folder Permissions > Permissions tab
- Click Add → Select the person
- Under the ‘Other’ heading check ‘Folder visible’ and click OK
Navigate to the Folder You Want to Share
- This could be your Inbox, Sent Items, or any custom folder.
Right-Click the Folder
- Select “Properties”.
Click “Permissions” Tab
- You’ll see a list of users who currently have access.
Click “Add…”
- Search for the person you want to share the folder with.
- Select their name and click Add > OK.
Set Permission Level
- Choose from:
  - Reviewer – Can read items.
  - Author – Can read and create items.
  - Editor – Can read, create, and modify items.
- Click OK to save.
(Optional) Grant Access to Mailbox Root
- If the folder is nested, you may also need to grant Folder Visible permission on the mailbox root so the user can navigate to the shared folder.

Note

This method does not grant delegate access (e.g., send on behalf). It only allows access to the folder’s contents.
The recipient will see the shared folder under their mailbox list once permissions are applied.

User Getting Access Steps

Open Outlook → Go to File > Account Settings > Account Settings
Double click the account with your name (in this example it would be MC1username@cunet…)
Select More settings > Advanced tab
Click Add, type in the email address of the person sharing their accounts with you: MC1username@cunet.carleton.ca click OK and OK again.
click next > done > Close & restart Outlook and you should see what was shared.

Delegate Access

Make Someone a Delegate

A delegate automatically receives Send on Behalf permissions. By default, the delegate can read only your meeting requests and responses. The delegate isn’t granted permission to read other messages in your Inbox.

Outlook Desktop App

Open Outlook → Go to File > Account Settings > Delegate Access
Click Add → Select the person
Choose permissions for Inbox, Calendar, Tasks, etc.
Optionally enable Send on Behalf

Notes:

Messages sent with Send on Behalf permissions include both the delegate’s and your names next to From. When a message is sent with Send As permissions, only the your name appears.
Once you add someone as a delegate, they can add your Exchange mailbox to their Outlook profile. For instructions, see .

Access another Person's Email/Calendar

Once access has been granted

Open Outlook → Go to File > Account Settings > Account Settings
Double click the account with your name (in this example it would be MC1username@cunet…)
Select More settings > Advanced tab
Click Add, type in the email address of the person sharing their accounts with you: MC1username@cunet.carleton.ca click OK and OK again.
click next > done > Close & restart Outlook and you should see what was shared.

Delegate Permission Levels

Reviewer With this permission, the delegate can read items in your folders.
Author With this permission, the delegate can read and create items, and change and delete items that he or she creates. For example, a delegate can create task requests and meeting requests directly in your Task or Calendar folder and then send the item on your behalf.
Editor With this permission, the delegate can do everything that an Author has permission to do and additionally can change and delete the items that you created.

Change Permissions for a Delegate

Open Outlook → Go to File > Account Settings > Delegate Access
Click the name of the delegate for whom you want to change permissions, and then click Permissions.

Note: If you want to remove all Delegate Access permissions, don’t click Permissions but instead click Remove and skip the rest of these steps.
Change the permissions for any Outlook folder that the delegate has access to.
To send a message to notify the delegate of the changed permissions, select the Automatically send a message to delegate summarizing these permissions check box.

Note: If you want copies of meeting requests and responses that you receive to be sent to a delegate, ensure that the delegate is assigned Editor (can read, create, and modify items) permission to your Calendar folder, and then select the Delegate receives copies of meeting-related messages sent to me check box.

A pop-up will appear asking if you want to report the phishing email. Select Report or Don’t Report.

Regardless of your selection, the email will be deleted from the inbox and moved to the Deleted Items folder.
If you report an email in error, you can retrieve the email from your Deleted Items folder.
Note: The button will appear in a different location in the Outlook desktop app versus Outlook on the web.

Phishing button – desktop application:

The phishing button will appear in the main menu at the top right as shown below.

Note: This button should only be used to mark emails with malicious intent. Other nuisance emails, such as spam or marketing emails, should be flagged using the “Junk Email” feature.

When in doubt, please contact the ITS Service Desk for assistance.

Additional Information

What is phishing:

Emails, text messages or phone calls that attempt to trick the recipient into providing information or taking an action. Pause and think before responding or taking action. The attackers are after your passwords, financial info, identity, or money. The reason behind falling for these scams are urgency, desire to please, greed, curiosity, complacency, fear and that is why 1 out of 10 attempts is successful.

How to spot a phishing attack:

Attackers might send emails, text messages, use phone calls, or post messages online in a phishing attack. They might include malware on the website or in an attachment, trying to take over your computer. They can also make fake websites that can ask you to log in, trying to steal your username and password. Hover over the link to see if it is the correct link. Only open attachments that you are expecting and check the file extension (Avoid EXE, COM and VBS).

Common warning signs for phishing:

If an email appears to come from someone at the University, but has an [External Email] tag, it may be a phishing message. Be extra careful on mobile devices where it may not show the email address.
The subject line is in ALL CAPS.
If an email appears to be sent to a long list of people and not just to you.
If the email uses a generic greeting, or uses your email address in the greeting. e.g. Dear user, or Dear abc@carleton.ca
The message asks you to send money, Bitcoin, gift cards, checks, etc.
Asks you for your password or directs you to a website asking for your password (or personal information).
There is a call for immediate action – “download this now”, “confirm your email identity now” or “click on the link below”.
Tries to invoke an emotional response to get you to take an action without thinking.
There are spelling or grammatical errors in the email.

No one likes spam or junk email. The Outlook Junk Email Filter doesn’t stop delivery of junk email messages, but does the next best thing—it moves suspected spam to the��Junk Email��ڴǱ��.

Tips:��It’s a good idea to regularly review messages in the��Junk Email��folder to check for legitimate messages that were incorrectly classified as junk. If you find a message that isn’t junk, drag it back to the��Inbox��or any folder. You can also mark the item as not junk by doing the following:

��Home��&��; Report&��;��Not Junk.

You can block messages from specific email addresses or domains from reaching your inbox. When you add an email address or domain to your blocked senders list, Outlook on the web automatically moves messages from that sender to the Junk Email folder.

Block senders from sending you email

If you’re receiving unwanted email, you can block the email addresses and domains you don’t want to receive messages from. Add any email address or domain to your blocked senders list to move these messages directly to your Junk Email folder.
