Using shared mailboxes
Shared mailboxes allow you and your colleagues to jointly operate an email account simultaneously. This can be very useful for workplace teams, clubs, societies etc.
Shared mailboxes do not have passwords, so you cannot log in the same way as you would for your own account.
Before being able to access a shared mailbox you will need to have been given permission by its owner.
