Introduction

Additional or shared mailbox is the mailbox shared by the number of users at a time. Especially in companies where
a team or a department in which a number of employees operate together to achieve a single goal. In this situation, it
becomes necessary for all the members of the team to have an effective communication. This mailbox helps in
adding a number of members to it who can access it collectively. However, the owner of the mailbox can be one or
two based on the level of access required as per their role or designation. These owners give permissions to their sub
ordinates or team members or direct reporters or any other party requiring to access it. Once the permission is
granted, all the members who have granted access will have to map or add the shared or additional mailbox to their
outlook.

In this article, I have given the most simple and easy steps to add or map the shared or additional mailbox to their
outlook in both 2003 and 2010 versions.

This is a very common problem faced very often by professionals at Help Desk departments. This information
would not only help the users but also would be useful for the technical support engineers who help their clients in
such matters.

This article would also help the employees working in Technical Helpdesk department to help users when they don't
get the proper troubleshooting steps while the user is on call. I am trying my best to make their job easy. Please find
steps defined below and the best practices practised by the top professionals in MNCs. I have given the steps for
two versions 2003 and 2010. This would also help the ones preparing for interview as I have tried to make it look
very simple and effective.

Technical support engineers can use these simple steps to fix the issue and save FCR and contribute their best
experience to the customers in no time without having to forward the ticket to higher support levels. Common users
can fix their issues all by themselves by following these steps without calling the Help Desk and wait in the queue
for the response of the Support Engineers.

In short, practising these simple steps to fix the issues in outlook would add a lot of value to the organization by
saving the man power efforts which in turn would help the company to save revenue.
