You must add the name of the account to the list of additional mailboxes before it displays in your Outlook account.

If someone is a full access delegate (FAD), such as an owner, the shared account folder should appear automatically for them. These instructions apply to someone who has been granted access permission by a FAD.

Types of sharing

Outlook allows two types of sharing:

  1. Folder permissions: This type of sharing allows selected others to view the contents of a specified folder, but does not allow others to send email on your behalf.

  2. Delegates: You can also designate delegates, who can have different permissions but also the additional ability to send email on your behalf. By default, a delegate has Editor permissions on the Calendar and Tasks folders. For instruction on how to set up a delegate, view Microsoft's instructions for delegating access.
