What is a Shared Mailbox?
A shared mailbox is a mailbox which appears within your current active mailbox.
It is not a separate mailbox you can log into with an email address and password. However, it is a mailbox which can receive emails. As shown in the image above, you are able to view the shared mailbox as a second inbox within your mailbox that you used your email address and password to log into.
As an example your main mailbox you log into would be [email protected], then you have a shared mailbox of [email protected]. To view the emails within the [email protected] mailbox, you would log into [email protected]. Then scroll down past the Person1 inbox, sent then to the second mailbox which would show a separate mailbox with the inbox, sent etc.
The Shared Mailbox ([email protected]) is not a licenced mailbox meaning emails cannot be sent from this mailbox, there is no access to O365, also meaning there is no cost involved for this mailbox.
We would recommend setting up a shared mailbox for a few different reasons;
1.When a member of staff leaves, you can change their mailbox to a Shared Mailbox which allows you to still have access to emails within their mailbox and to receive emails after they have left.
2.For groups such as Sales Team, Support Team, Marketing Team if you are a small team say all 5 members of the team can have access to this Shared Mailbox.
You are able to have a maximum of 6 Shared mailbox within your personal Mailbox.
To have access to a Shared Mailbox, you yourself need to have a licenced Mailbox.
