    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.

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.
