Multiple users/1 email address

[L Moore]

Environment:

Exchange 2003 SP1 on a Windows 2000 box and Outlook 2003.

I have 5 users (each has his own active directory acct and
log on as themselves) that need to share a common email
address i.e. (e-mail address removed). When each user
opens Outlook, I need them to see any emails delivered to
the shared email address. How can this be accomplished?

Thank you in advance,
L Moore

You could either have a mailbox for (e-mail address removed), give the users
rights to it and set their Outlook to open that mailbox as well as their own
mailbox.

Or you could make a mail enabled public folder with that email address and
give the users access to it, they can also have "send as" rights if they
need it.

Since each user will also have his/her own mailbox, one option is to make
sure they all have full access to the 'shared' mailbox - create mail
profiles for their individual mailboxes, then go to the advanced properties
of the Exchange server service in Outlook & add the 'shared' one there - it
will show up in their folder list.

If they need to be able to send as that address, make sure you grant them
'send as' rights on the shared mailbox (much easier to set all permissions
for groups, not individuals) - and if you want the sent mail from that
address to go to the shared mailbox sent items folder, see UniSent from
