This article provides information and instructions on how to manage mailbox delegates on your macOS.
Mailbox Delegates
Delegate Settings
When setting up a Delegate, you will select from the following three Permission levels (the default level is “None”).
- Reviewer: Delegate can read items in your folder.
- Author: Delegate can read and create items and modify and delete items that they create.
- Editor: Delegate can read, create, modify, and delete all items and files.
Note: When you set up delegate or shared access, delegates or users who share those folders have the ability to view your private contacts, events, or e-mail messages by using other software applications. To help protect your privacy, put private items in a separate, non-shared address book, calendar, or mail folder.
Setup Delegates
- In the Menu Bar, select Tools > Accounts.
- Click on the Delegation and Sharing button.
- In the "My Delegates" tab, select the Plus sign () icon under "Delegates who can act on my behalf".
- Search for and select Add for the person/people you wish to be a delegate.
- Choose the permission settings for the delegate and select OK.
