If you are the owner or maintainer of a shared mailbox or calendar, adjustments and account maintenance is best handled via the Outlook Web App, available via the Office 365 portal.
Switch accounts

- Click the tile for Outlook.
- Alternatively, you may access https://outlook.office.com/mail/inbox.
- Access the account manager pane by clicking the icon with your initials (or profile pic) in the upper-right corner.
- On the My account pane, click Open another mailbox.

) in the upper-right corner.
- Click View all Outlook settings.

- At the bottom of this menu pane, click View all Outlook settings.

Set email rules
Setting inbox rules on shared mailboxes are particularly useful. You can use rules to forward certain messages (or messages from a specific sender) to specific people, delegate messages to different folders, and otherwise use them to organize the way messages behave for the mailbox.
- Click the gear icon to expand the Settings menu () pane on the right.
- At the bottom of this menu pane, click View all Outlook settings.

Automatic processing
You can also use the Settings menu () to customize shared Calendars as well.
- Open the Settings menu ().
- Click the Calendar button.

Safe senders / Junk email
- To manually add senders and recipients to your safe senders list, open the Settings menu () and click on Block or Allow.
- From this menu you can choose to turn automatic filtering on or off, and add specific people or addresses to your safe list to keep them from being filtered into Junk.
- You can also list specific senders or domains to your Blocked list, to always filter them into your Junk mail.
