Hi

We have several mailboxes, where assistants have fullaccess permission to the mailboxes.
The owners would like to prevent the delegated users, from reading private emails.
How can this be achieved?

Regards
Peter

    Protect the items with a sensitivity label, and make sure that the delegates have not been granted access to the label and to IRM protected messages in the user's mailbox. The latter is done via the set of *-MailboxIRMAccess cmdlets, if you need additional details check this article: https://office365itpros.com/2022/06/09/delegate-access-encrypted-email/

    Do not rely on the "private" flag, as certain clients can actually access such items (see https://ingogegenwarth.wordpress.com/2022/02/15/outlook-and-private-items/).
