Manage Someone Else's Mailbox in Workspace ONE Boxer
As a delegate, after you are granted delegation permissions, you can create, update, delete, and copy the Exchange folders of your delegator. You can also read and respond to emails on their behalf. To do so, you must add the account of your delegator to Workspace ONE Boxer.
Your delegators must grant you access before you can use their mailboxes.
Note: Configuring permissions for delegation depends on the Exchange setup that exists in the delegator's environment. For information about configuring permissions, the relevant Microsoft documentation can be considered as a reference.
To manage your delegator's mailbox, perform the following:
- Navigate to Boxer Settings > Add account > Add shared account > select an account and add the delegator’s email account.
- Enter your delegator's email address.
-
If you already have a configured delegated calendar, you must remove the account and add the account again.
-
Initial synchronization of large email accounts might take a longer time.
To speed up this process, keep the Workspace ONE Boxer application open.
-
If you are using an Office 365 account, you might see duplicate calendars on your calendar screen.
-
To change the signature which is applied when you send or reply to emails on behalf of the delegator or in a shared account, use the Signature setting in the Settings menu. Note that this setting is local and does not get synchronized to other Workspace ONE Boxer application instances or devices.
