Open Someone Else's Mail and Calendar

You can manage Mail, Calendar or To Do entries for another user. Depending on how much access you have to their mail file, you may be able to read messages or Calendar entries, and to edit, create, and delete them. You may also be able to send mail on behalf of the other user.

You cannot manage someone else's mail in lite mode.

Note Even though you have access to another user's mail file, you cannot read encrypted mail that they receive, and you cannot send signed or encrypted mail on their behalf.

To Open Another Person's Mail Using a Shortcut

1. Create a shortcut using Preferences > Delegation > Shortcuts.
2. Open your mail Inbox.
3. Expand Other Mail, and click the name of the person whose mail file you want to open.

To Open Another Person's Mail When there is No Shortcut

2. Expand Other Mail, and then click Open Mail for.
3. Enter the name for the person whose mail you want to open, or click the arrow to select a name from a directory.

To Open Another Person's Mail Using a URL

1. In your browser's address box, type the IBM^(R) Lotus^(R) iNotes^TM Mail URL for the person whose mail you are managing.
2. Enter your own user name and Internet password in the dialog box that appears.

Example

Susan Jones has given Tom Smith access to her mail file. Tom enters the URL for Susan's Lotus iNotes mail file. He then logs in using his own user name and password. When Lotus iNotes opens, the Welcome message welcomes Tom, but identifies the Mail as Susan's mail file.

For more information about the types of access you may have, see the topic Delegation Preferences.
