These instructions are valid for Outlook for Mac 2016. Similar procedures apply to earlier/later versions although some screenshots and options may vary.
Pre-requisites and assumptions:
- Your primary Exchange/365 mailbox has already been added to Outlook as the default account.
- The shared mailbox you are accessing is using the same domain name (or is part of the same Exchange organisation/365 tenant).
- Your Exchange/365 administrator has already granted you 'Send As' or Full permission to the shared mailbox in Microsoft 365 / Exchange Admin Centre.
- Open Outlook for Mac, select Tools menu > Accounts
- Select your default Office 365 / Exchange account (or the account used to login to the shared mailbox) from the Accounts list on the left. Click the Advanced button.
- Select the Delegates tab
- In the bottom section People I am a delegate for select the [+] symbol
- Type in the name of the shared mailbox, then select the desired mailbox name from the list and click Add
- Select OK to close the Accounts window.
After a short time, the shared mailbox will appear as a folder in the left sidebar navigation pane.
To alter how the accounts list is displayed, go to Outlook > Preferences > General
Select or deselect the 'Show all account folders' option as desired.
