Very insightful article! Thanks.

Do you have any piece on the differences between: Shared Mailbox, User mailbox that is shared, Office 365 group, and Mail Enabled Security Group.

Thanks

Difference in terms of the Send As functionality, or in general? For Send As, it doesn't matter that much what kind of object you have, as long as you have the necessary permissions. The difference is mainly in how you want to handle the messages (i.e. gather them centrally in some mailbox), as different objects can have different methods to use on that part.
