Shared Mailboxes and 365 Outlook Web App
- Jun 29, 2020
Hi PhilRiceUoS.
I can answer only one your Q:
To permanently enable the From: field for a user execute this commandlet:
Set-MailboxMessageConfiguration user -AlwaysShowFrom $true
To do that for all users you have to create a small PowerShell script.
Yeah, I was hoping that someone out there might know the solution to maybe one or two of these things or some inventive way of hacking it , but like yourself Im currently stumped as to how to achieve any of them.

Victor_Ivanidze - yes thankyou, I had actually found that one and after investigating thoroughly have concluded that is the only possible one like you say.
I read through all of the related Powershell cmdlet parameters, looked through the registry settings, tried using licensed mailbox users instead of shared mailboxes but with Outlook on the Web it simply seems to have limitations currently.

Hi again PhilRiceUoS,
all you reuirements can be achieve easily if your users will run desktop Outlook instead of OWA.
If OWA is mandatory try to use Office 365 groups (modern groups) instead of shared mailboxes.

Victor_Ivanidze another good idea but one I already tried/suggested - it does in fact fulfill the automapping part as groups do auto map in OWA but the fact that you cannot create subfolders mean it was a non starter.
