correct way to structure mailboxes with many domains
shared mailboxes can only be added via IMAP to mobile devices. On outlook client they can be auto mapped when you create a shared mailbox. If you've that many shared mailbox and i assume each shared mailbox for a project? If that's the case, why don't you try to leverage Office 365 groups? You do have iOS and Android client of O365 Groups available to look all the emails sent to the group.
I'm completely new to office 365. I did that what I found through Google.
Is it possible to create groups which act like a shared mailbox? I need to receive and send through that email.
You can setup "Send As" and "Send on behalf" permissions to a group. Here is the Microsoft support article on how to implement "Send As" and "Send on Behalf" permissions to allow users send an email from Office 365 group. Thanks.

Each Group technically includes a shared mailbox, but its features are mostly hidden.
If you don't need all additional machinery associated with a Group (modern team site, document library, notebook, Teams. Planner, etc.) and you only need multiple users to receive and send emails, as a single entity, then a shared mailbox appears to be the correct choice.
Hi Paul,
In groups you can only receive email's not sending. For that situation is better to use Shared Mailbox.
Nuno.. It's changed now, you can send an email from Office 365 group :) https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/exchange/2017/01/24/send-as-and-send-on-behalf-of-for-groups-in-outlook/
