Gmail Access Delegation Issues – How to Fix

gmailgoogle-appsgoogle-apps-email

I know that Gmail supports a way to delegate access to your email account. However, when I go into Gmail settings, I do not see the option to delegate access (screenshot below).

I am using Google Apps—is that the reason? If so, how do I enable email delegation?

I figured it out! It's burried in a bunch of sub-menus:

  1. Log into your Google Apps account
  2. Click "Users" in the dashboard
  3. Click a user's name
  4. Click Google Apps Enabled
  5. Click Gmail
  6. Click User Settings
  7. Scroll down and check the "Mail Delegation" checkbox half-way down the screen.

Wasn't that easy?
