# Delegate Others to Send Messages on Your Behalf

You can give other people permission to send email messages on your behalf. When messages are sent on your behalf, the From address shows your name and the name of the person who is sending the message. This is not the same a sharing your Inbox with another person. The person who is sending a message on your behalf is working in his own email account. When a new message is created, your name is selected from the From field drop-down menu as the From address.

You can also give permission to people to send messages as you. The From address shows your name and email address as the message sender, but the actual message is sent from the delegated person's Inbox.

1. Go to the Preferences>Accounts page.

2. In the Primary Account Settings>Delegates: The following users have delegated authority to this account section, click Add Delegate.

3. Add the email address of the person you are delegating permission. This must be an internal user address.

4. Check the permissions you want to give.

5. Click OK.

An email message is sent to the person letting him know that he has been granted delegate permissions.
