Adding a Shared Mailbox/Calendar

Question

How do I add a shared mailbox or calendar?

Answer

Shared resource accounts are not managed or used like other accounts. For example, you do not need to set a password or give out the password to others. Once an owner has granted individual permissions for other users they can add the mailbox, into Outlook. They can access and use the shared mailbox folders based on the permissions granted to them for each individual folder in the mailbox.

Add the Shared Mailbox in Outlook:
1. Click File and select Account Settings.
2. Click Account Settings again.
