"On behalf of" delegation

[JoAnn Paules]

First time poster here

I would like some info about setting myself up to better support one of my
managers. We have Outlook 2003 on XP Pro and an Exchange Server. What I
think I'd like to be able to do is to reply to his emails for him. As of
yesterday I can arrange meetings and edit his calendar. (I didn't have that
access before because up until yesterday he never asked me to edit his
calendar.)

I assume I will be able to read his emails on my system? And if I reply,
there's some sort of a "On behalf of" type header? Will my name appear
somewhere so the recipients know the response is not from him directly? If I
read one of his emails before him, will it still show as unread on his
email? Will the emails he's read show up as read on my system?

I think if I had the info I needed to present to him, it might help ease
some of his stress. And then again, it may transfer over to me...... hmm,
maybe I need to rethink this. ;-)

If you have "send on behalf of" permission and you change the From field to be
his name, the recipients will see the "you on behalf of him" in the mail they
receive.

If I read one of his emails before him, will it still show as unread on his
email? Will the emails he's read show up as read on my system?

This I don't know, never having been anyone's delegate. I'm sure someone else
will be able to address the question.

Okay, that part sounds good.
