Managing shared mailboxes

G

Guest

Within my organization apart from personal outlook mailbox, I am also the
owner of few other shared mailboxes.

I would like to create a rule to treat incoming mail messages on one of my
shared mailboxes. The rule should only be applied to incoming mail on that
single mailbox and not any other mailbox.

How can I set this up?

Many thanks in anticipation for your time to give me the advice.

You need to make the rule while logged on as that Mailbox. It is just the
same as a user on the network.

I hope this helps you at least a little bit!

You can only set rules for the default mailbox and not any additional
mailboxes. In order to set rules for another mailbox you'll have to create
an additional mailprofile with that mailbox set as the default mailbox and
start Outlook with that mail profile.

To verify that the permissions are set correctly see;

When you log on to your computer you log on with your name.

To make rules in the other mailbox, you need to log on with its name. It's
like another person with its own Mailbox.

I am sorry but I did not understand the reply. I do not do anything
special
to log on to Outlook. I simply quickly on the outlook icon and it opens
up
the application. Is there any particular way by which I need to log on
to
the mailbox.

Sorry for the basic question but I am not that advanced a user of Outlook
(not yet).

Many thanks for your help so far.

Logging on with a different user is not required when the mail admin sets
the permissions correctly.
