  2. Select your Deakin email address in the account list, then select 'Change'.



  3. In the Change Account menu, select 'More Settings'.



  4. In the Microsoft Exchange window, select the Advanced tab, then click Add. Ensure Download Shared folders is checked 

    For reference, this is the 'Microsoft Exchange' menu that you will witness when selecting 'More Settings'

  5. Enter the shared account name and click OK.

  6. Click Apply > OK > Next > Finish.

  7. The shared mailbox will now automatically display in your Folder pane in Outlook.



If you have only recently been given access to a shared mailbox, it may take a short time before the shared mailbox will automatically appear in your Outlook profile. If the shared mailbox does not automatically display in Outlook, you may need to restart Outlook to see the shared mailbox.
