If your organization uses a hybrid Exchange environment, you should use the on-premises Exchange admin center to create and manage shared mailboxes. See Create shared mailboxes in the Exchange admin center
If you're not sure if you should create a shared mailbox or a Microsoft 365 group for Outlook, see Compare groups for some guidance. It's not possible to migrate a shared mailbox to a Microsoft 365 group.
Create shared mailboxes so a group of people can monitor and send email from a common email addresses, like in...@contoso.com. When a person in the group replies to a message sent to the shared mailbox, the email appears to be from the shared mailbox, not from the individual user.
Shared mailboxes include a shared calendar. Your team can use the shared calendar as a place for everyone to enter their appointments. For example, if you have 3 people who do customer visits, all can use the shared calendar to enter the customer visit information.
If you need help with the steps in this topic, consider working with a Microsoft small business specialist. With Business Assist, you and your employees get around-the-clock access to small business specialists as you grow your business, from onboarding to everyday use.
Under Next steps, select Add members to this mailbox. Members are the people who will be able to view the incoming mail to this shared mailbox, and the outgoing replies.
Full Access: The Full Access permission lets a user open the shared mailbox and act as the owner of that mailbox. After accessing the shared mailbox, a user can create calendar items, read, view, delete, and change email messages, and create tasks and calendar contacts. However, a user with Full Access permission can't send email from the shared mailbox unless they also have Send As or Send on Behalf permission.
Send As: The Send As permission lets a user impersonate the shared mailbox when sending mail. For example, if Katerina logs into the shared mailbox Marketing Department and sends an email, it will look like the Marketing Department sent the email.
Send on Behalf: The Send on Behalf permission lets a user send email on behalf of the shared mailbox. For example, if John logs into the shared mailbox Reception Building 32 and sends an email, it will look like the mail was sent by "John on behalf of Reception Building 32". You can't use the EAC to grant Send on Behalf permissions, you must use the Set-Mailbox cmdlet with the GrantSendonBehalf parameter.
The Send As and Send on Behalf permissions do not work in the Outlook desktop client with the HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled parameter on the mailbox set to True, since they require the mailbox to be visible in Outlook via the Global Address List.
The Full Access permission allows a user to open the mailbox as well as create and modify items in it. The Send As permission allows anyone other than the mailbox owner to send email from this shared mailbox. Both permissions are required for successful shared mailbox operation.
Every shared mailbox has a corresponding user account. Notice how you weren't asked to provide a password when you created the shared mailbox? The account has a password, but it's system-generated (unknown). You aren't supposed to use the account to log in to the shared mailbox.
But what if an admin simply resets the password of the shared mailbox user account? Or what if an attacker gains access to the shared mailbox account credentials? This would allow the user account to log in to the shared mailbox and send email. To prevent this, you need to block sign-in for the account that's associated with the shared mailbox.
Automapping is set on the user's mailbox, not the shared mailbox. This means if you try to use a security group to manage who has access to the shared mailbox, automapping won't work. So, if you want automapping, you have to assign permissions explicitly. Automapping is on by default. To learn how to turn it off, see Remove automapping for a shared mailbox.
When you created the shared mailbox, you automatically created a shared calendar. We like the shared mailbox calendar rather than a SharePoint calendar for keeping track of appointments and where people are. A shared calendar is integrated with Outlook and it's much easier to use than a SharePoint calendar.
Any member of the shared mailbox can create, view, and manage appointments on the calendar, just like they would their personal appointments. Everyone who is a member of shared mailbox can see their changes to the shared calendar.
I'm creating a PowerShell script to automate a process at work. This process requires an email to be filled in and sent to someone else. The email will always roughly follow the same sort of template however it will probably never be the same every time so I want to create an email draft in Outlook and open the email window so the extra details can be filled in before sending.
Thought I would add in to this as well. There are a few steps you can save yourself if you know a lot of the basics (subject, recipients, or other aspects). First create the template of the email and save that, e.g. somewhere maybe with the code?
Do you know how to create this flow with additional action? I have Email recipients of 5000, but Outlook only allows max of 500. So I need a flow which will create 10 drafts of the same email with all these 5000 recipients (500 recipients per draft)
