Send As will make it look like you sent it. Send on Behalf will show up as she sent it on behalf of you. Either way you don't have to grant access to your mailbox. There are actually two different permissions that let you send from another mailbox, “send as” and “send on behalf of.” The Delegates tab grants "Send on Behalf Of" permission. When you “send on behalf of,” sent messages contain both the manager's and delegate's names. Message recipients see the manager's name in the Sent On Behalf Of box and the delegate's name in the From box. The other similar permission, which can be granted only by the network administrator, called “send as.” The major difference is that the “send as” permission hides the name of the actual sender. When Michael Medin uses his “send as” permission to send a message as Mark Morowczynski, recipients see only Mark Morowczynski on the From field. There is no indication that Michael Medin actually sent the message. On the other hand, if Michael Medin has only “send on behalf of” permission, recipients will see Mark Morowczynski's name in the From column in the Information Viewer but both Michael Medin’s name and Mark Morowczynski’s name on the incoming message, as shown below.Mark Morowczynski|MCT| MCSE 2003:Messaging, Security|MCITP:EMA 2K7,EDA Win 7,ES,SA,EA|MCTS:Windows Mobile Admin|Security+|http://almostdailytech.com
