The team at Google Apps have just released a killer feature that many of our customers (and potential customers) have been waiting for – the ability to let others read, send and delete your email on your behalf.

For exmple, you can delegate e-mail rights to an admin, or you can set up a small group mailbox. You won’t be able to give anyone permission to change your account password or settings, or chat on your behalf. Also, you can specify up to 10 users.

Here’s how to set it all set up:

1. Click the Settings link, and select the Accounts tab.
2. Under ‘Grant access to your account,’ click the Add another account link.
3. Enter the email address of the person you’d like to access your account and click Next Step.
4. You’ll see a confirmation message. Click Grant Access if you’re sure.
5. Any messages someone else sends from your account will have your name listed in addition to the other person’s name, so they’ll show the sender as: Your Name (sent by Delegate).

If someone has granted access to their account to you, you can access it by clicking the down-arrow next to your email address in the upper-left corner. Select your delegate’s email address from the drop-down menu.
