IMPORTANT: The only way, at this time, to add a shared mailbox to a mobile device (phone/tablet) is using the Microsoft Outlook app and adding the user's primary mailbox that has been granted access to the shared mailbox.


For example, Jane Doe has a primary email of [email protected] access to a shared mailbox of [email protected]. John must install the Outlook app on her phone first, then add the shared mailbox.

Note: Each mailbox added will require a separate management approval.
