Shared/Departmental Mailbox

What is it?

Shared mailboxes are email addresses/accounts that can be accessed by multiple people. They are often used for projects, departmental accounts, or other generic uses not tied to an individual user. The users who have access to shared mailboxes can only be added or removed by the IT Department.

Shared mailboxes can be accessed via Microsoft Outlook on a computer, the Outlook mobile app, or Outlook on the web.
