Click share, edit permissions, send. Want to see if someone is on vacation? Put their name into the "To:" list, it'll show you their current OOO message so you can skip composing the mail. Want to grant read-only access to a particular group of users from a particular part of an AD forest to a specific shared mailbox? Couple clicks and you're done.
