Granting access to Exchange account

[RonWolff]

I am running Exchange 2003 on a 2003SBS, and using Outlook 2003. I have a
situation where the boss want his assistant to be able to access his Exchange
2003 account (email, calendar, etc.) as if they we logged in as him. I have
granted delegate permissions, and that works ok for inbox, outbox, calendar,
but my big problem is that he wants his assistant to do is sort his mail into
about 100 subfolders, (one for each client, migrated over from Groupwise). I
have tried to grant permissions to each folder, but that is taking too long.
Since the client folders are all under a main folder called "Cabinet" I was
hoping that granting owner permissions to "Cabinet" would give me permissions
to the subfolders, but NO! It would also be nice if I could somehow select
all the subfolders and grant permissions just once, but NO again. I guess I
could just have the assistant login as the boss, and set up an outlook
account for him, but that seem a kind of sledg hammer approach. Does anyone
know a way around this problem, or am I just going to have to select each
folder individually and grant permissions? What happens if this assistant
leaves? Will I have to do it all over again? HELP!

This is more of an Exchange 2003 management question, but I think you open
Active Directory Users and Computers and go to the user object in question
(e.g. boss). Right click and select properties. Go to the Exchange
Advanced tab and select Mailbox Rights. Add the name of the assistant and
give them Full Mailbox Access. OK out and wait about 2 hours (yes it can
take this long for the right change to take effect.)

Go to the assistant and see if you can add the boss's mailbox to the
profile. If that works, then try sending a test message where the from line
on the message contains the boss's name. This should net you what you are
looking for (no "sent on behalf").
