To access a shared mailbox in the new Outlook you first must be added as member of the shared mailbox.


After you are granted access to the shared mailbox, it may take a few minutes before the shared mailbox appears or is available to you. 



To add the mailbox manually to Outlook


  • Select Mail from the navigation pane in new Outlook

  • In the Folder pane, right-click your account name, and select Add shared folder or mailbox



  • In the Add shared folder or mailbox window that appears,
    type the name of the mailbox you want to access, for example: [email protected]



Find a Shared Mailbox in the Folder Pane


  • In the Folder pane on the left, locate the Shared with me folder

  • Click the folder to expand it. Your shared mailbox is a subfolder under Shared with me.
    When you select the name of the shared mailbox, it will expand to show the standard email folders,
    such as Inbox, Drafts, and Sent Items.
