Delegating access for Zoom Mail
Zoom Mail users can assign delegate mail access to other Zoom Mail users on their account, allowing them to view, reply, and compose emails on behalf of the user. Delegating users can also enable settings to include the delegate's email on outgoing email (Sent by…) and keep emails marked as unread, even if the delegate has opened them. Additionally, users assigning delegated access will automatically have the encryption key change notification enabled for each delegated user.
