Uses of Outlook Shared Mailbox Folder

 

Hello there! Sharing your mailbox means that you are giving a permission to another person to have access with your mails. This is very useful if you are going to leave for a long vacation or if you need assistance with your mails. To give permission to another person to access your mailbox, you just have to right click on your mailbox name which is at the left side of the Outlook window. Select sharing then click add. Choose the person's name from the list and then click add. You can choose more than one person to have access with your mailbox. Also, you can adjust the permission level of the person accessing your mailbox. Once the person is added, he or she can now view your mailbox by going to Mailbox – Other User's Name but he or she have to do the following options first: Tools > E-mail Accounts > View or change existing e-mail accounts > Next > Change > More settings > Advanced > Add (the person who gave access to the mailbox).
