Shared Mailbox - Deactivate Calendar and Contacts
Hey everybody, I am struggeling to find the solution to my problem on the web and cannot believe that this should not be possible. We are using a few shared mailboxes (info@... / accounting@....
That depends on how you are accessing the shared mailbox, but generally speaking there is no way to "turn them off" - they are a part of every mailbox. The minimalistic approach would be to use folder-level permissions and only grant access to the folders you want to see within Outlook.
- Hello Vasil,
thanks for the quick reply. I am accessing the shared mailbox in the "usual" way, I would say. I set them up in the O365 admin panel and gave permission to the individuals to the whole shared mailbox.
Can you (or anyone else) give me a push in the right direction on how to set up folder permissions? And will the inbox (and the other mailbox folder) still show up automatically in the outlook mail tab? (I want to avoid having to add the mailboxes for each user manually).
Thanks a lot- You cannot have it both ways 🙂 If you want to only see specific folders, you cannot use Full Access/Automapping. Instead, you need to grant folder-level permissions (via PowerShell, Add-MailboxFolderPermission) and add the mailbox manually.
So in 2022 we are still adding mailboxes manually.....is it any different in 2024. I bet i know the answer to this, but I'm hoping that the AI revolution has changed Microsoft's definition of granular control!!
