Open and use a shared mailbox in Outlook on the web

A shared mailbox makes it easy for a group of people to monitor and send email from a public email address, like info@contoso.com. When a person in the group replies to a message sent to the shared mailbox, the reply appears to come from the shared address, not from the individual person.

Quick Steps to Open a Shared Mailbox via Outlook on the web (OWA):

  1. Login to Outlook on the web using https://outlook.office.com/ 
  2. Right-click the Folders heading that appears above your Inbox folder.
  3. Select Add a shared folder from the menu.
  4. In the pop-up type the name of the Shared Mailbox you have delegation permissions for and then click the open button to register this into your folder list.
