Sharing Email Folders

Folder sharing allows you to give colleagues access to specific folders in your mailbox. You can grant "Read-only" access for viewing or "Full" access for those who need to manage and reply to messages on your behalf.

Managing or Removing Permissions

  2. Click the Edit (pencil) icon next to the folder.

  3. Click the "-" (minus sign) next to the user you wish to remove.


 

Understanding Permissions

Level What can they do?
Read-only Can see and read messages, but cannot move, delete, or mark them as read/unread.
Read/Write Can read, move, and flag messages.
Full Can read, write, delete, and manage the folder's contents entirely.

Don't Lock Yourself Out: By default, your own account has "Full" permissions. Do not remove your own permissions from the list, or you will lose access to that folder and will need an administrator to restore it for you.
