How To Add A Shared Mailbox In Outlook – SlashGear

Aside from sending and receiving emails, a shared Outlook mailbox also doubles as a group or company calendar. When you set up special dates or appointments in your Outlook calendar through the shared mailbox, all members of the mailbox will be able to see and track those appointments.

To use the shared calendar, just open the Outlook app, switch to the Calendar tab, and select your shared mailbox’s address. At this point, you can utilize the calendar the same way you would with your normal Outlook account, setting up appointments on particular dates. The difference is that, when an appointment is made on the shared calendar, every member will automatically have their respective calendars updated with the event you made. Additionally, anyone with sufficient privileges will be able to edit any existing appointments on the calendar. Just make sure that you only give those permissions to those you trust to handle your calendar.
