6. In the Permissions dialogue box, you can select different access levels. To delegate Send on Behalf Of permissions, set each drop-down menu to None. To send your delegate an email summary of these permissions, check the Send permissions summary box. Click OK.

7. Your delegate will now be listed in the box under 'Delegates who can act on my behalf'. Click OK to close the delegates window. Close the accounts window to finish.

2. Under the ‘Open these additional mailboxes’ box, click  + to add a user.

3. In the ‘Choose a person’ dialogue box, type the user's name or email address and Outlook will provide possible matches. Click the name of the user who you will be a delegate for. Then, click Add.
