Add a shared mailbox in the Outlook app

You must been given access to the mailbox before you can add it to Outlook. 

You can be given access by:

• your local mail manager using https://toolkit.blue.cam.ac.uk
• the service desk with the authorisation of your line manager or someone who already has access

If you're unsure who your local mail managers are, please contact the service desk. 

If you add the mailbox into Outlook without having access, you won’t be able to see the folders properly, and will have to remove and re-add it once access is granted.  

Once access is given, it normally takes up to 30 minutes to become active.

1. open Outlook   
2. select ‘File’
