Outlook Mobile Delegate Access for Exchange Online Mailboxes

Question

&nbsp;
Outlook Mobile now supports delegate access to Exchange Online mailboxes. By granting fuil access to a delegate, they can open and work with a mailbox, and send messages using the SendAS or SendOnBehalfOf permissions. The new feature underscores the advantage Outlook mobile enjoys over other mobile Office 365 email clients.

Hi Tony -do you know if this is supported for Outlook mobile with an all premise Exchange Server env?

Julia Liua&nbsp; I don't know. Sorry.

Tony Redmond&nbsp;- thanks, that seems to be the general consensus. We are checking in with our PG but in the meantime, one of my team mates sent the following:

&nbsp;

&nbsp;Mobile clients connect to on-premises exchange through&nbsp;one of three connection options&nbsp;(Active Sync, IMAP, or POP)
&nbsp;Active Sync is the most feature rich of these three connection options
&nbsp;Active Sync does not support delegate access

Julia Liua&nbsp; You could short-circuit the process and simply ask&nbsp;Ross Smith IV&nbsp;- I bet he would know off the top of his head.
&nbsp;
Exchange ActiveSync is the lowest common denominator for mobile connectivity at this point. The EAS protocol doesn't include delegate access, which is the point your colleague is making.

TonyRedmond&nbsp;There are no plans to support delegate/shared calendar or mailbox support in Exchange ActiveSync (ActiveSync doesn’t support syncing permissions) which is the protocol used between Exchange on-premises and Exchange Online for data synchronization with Outlook mobile. These are spelled out as not supported in http://aka.ms/hmaom.&nbsp;
