Accessing a Shared Mailbox with Outlook on the Web
Option 1
Navigate to
https://outlook.office365.com/mail/<mailbox>@uic.edu
(substituting the shared mailbox's alias for <mailbox>).
Enter your UIC email address and password when prompted. Use your personal UIC email address, not the shared mailbox's address.
After logging in you will be working in the shared mailbox.
Option 2
Log in to
Outlook on the web
with your UIC email address and password.
Select the Account Manager link (the circle with your initials or Office365 profile picture) at the top-right corner of the window.
Click
Open Another Mailbox
, then enter the name or email address of the shared mailbox and select it from the search results that are returned. You may also need to select the "Search Directory" option for the shared mailbox to be found by that search.
After selecting the shared mailbox, a new window/tab will open and you will be working in the shared mailbox.
