NunoAriasSilva I am not sure if this is what I asked exactly. I was looking for adding additional and separate email accounts without having to assign license to them. so they just act as email account and no Office apps or Onedrive etc is assigned to them.
let's say you want to give someone a temporary email account or for any reason you don't want to pay additional license fee for just creating additional email account.
in the other words, there are many email services which really cost a dime and let you create hundreds of additional email address with no additional charge but with Office 365 It doesn't make sense to pay another 10-15$ just to create another email account.
Please advise
Hi parsarvin,
The licensing model is per user that login to an account, but you have the other options that I have mentioned you like other vendors.
The best way is to create a shared mailbox.

Nuno Árias SilvaI must say I start regretting for using Microsoft as a domain for a start up. The services are made for big companies and mainly support massive internal cooperation.
I also do not understand why is is not possible to add a new email account without the 365 subscribtion. It does not make any sense. It is a basic need for any growing company. In todays world you work with many free lancers and in networks and you need to provide an email for people who are not working fulltime for you. It´s called Network business model.Your solution is to create a shared inbox? It is not the same as a private email is it. NunoAriasSilva
