Save Copy of Send On Behalf emails to Sent Items

Granting a user Send on Behalf permissions to a mailbox will allow the user to send emails on behalf of that mailbox.

This is useful, e.g., if an assistant needs to send out emails on behalf of a manager or if multiple users need to send out emails on behalf of a shared mailbox, e.g., to perform customer support.

However, by default, any email sent using Send on Behalf permissions will only appear in the sent items folder of the actual sender – not in the sent items of the mailbox it was sent on behalf.

This article will show you how to fix this.
