Outlook: Delegate Access - (Step 3) - Creating an Additional Mailboxes on the Delegate's Computer

Introduction

Many departments have shared mailboxes. This means that folders such as the Inbox, Calendar, Contacts and Tasks may be accessible to some or all the members of your department.  Once access permissions have been set up in the master account you are then able to add the master account to your own Navigation Pane so that you have quick easy access to it. These instructions will allow the Delegate the see the master account on their own computer, once it has been granted to them (If Delegate access has not been granted, it is neccessary for Step 1 and Step 2 to be completed from within the master account before completing this step)
