Hi Vasil, thank you for the response. I wish they could use OWA, but the execs are pretty invested in the desktop app. Adding the shared mailbox as an additional account did work, but there were too many problems sending mail. The data file wouldn't properly load after a while and they were presented with the error "outlook data file cannot be accessed." I could only fix it by restarting the computer.
