Full Delegate Access to a Mailbox on Mac

Hello,

I am attempting to gain full delegate access to a mailbox that will allow me to create subfolders and rules on their behalf. Currently my delegate access on my Mac version of Outlook will allow me to access his inbox, and send emails & calendar invitations on his behalf. Is there a way to allow me full access to organize and create rules within his Outlook account?

I am utilizing a Business Microsoft 365 subscription, version 16.93 on a Mac.


Thank you,

To gain full delegate access to a mailbox on your Mac, allowing you to create subfolders and rules, you need to ensure you have the appropriate permissions set up. Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Assign Full Access Permissions:

  • The mailbox owner or an admin needs to grant you "Full Access" permissions. This can be done through the Exchange Admin Center (EAC) or via PowerShell.

  • In the EAC, navigate to Recipients > Mailboxes. Select the mailbox you want to assign permissions for, then click Edit. Go to Mailbox Delegation and add your account under Full Access

For more details, kindly refer this: Accessing other people's mailboxes - Exchange | Microsoft Learn

2. Add the Mailbox to Your Outlook:

  • Once you have Full Access permissions, you can add the mailbox to your Outlook. Go to Tools > Accounts, select your account, click Advanced, and then Delegates. Add the mailbox under Open these additional mailboxes

For more details, kindly refer this: Add and manage delegates in Outlook for Mac - Microsoft Support

3. Set Up Rules and Organize Folders:

  • With Full Access, you should be able to create subfolders and set up rules within the mailbox. In Outlook, go to Tools > Rules to create and manage rules.

If I misunderstand you, please feel free to let me know. I will continue to assist you. Your understanding and co-operation are highly appreciated.

 

Thanks for your precious time. Have a nice day!
