Overview
A shared mailbox makes it easy for a group of people to monitor and send email from a public email alias. When a person in the group replies to a message sent to the shared mailbox, the email appears to be from the shared address, not from the individual user. In classic Outlook, you can also use the shared mailbox as a shared team calendar. A shared mailbox is also suitable for use as a "noreply" email account.
After your admin has added you as a member of a shared mailbox, close and then restart new Outlook. The shared mailbox should automatically display in your Folder pane.
