Unable to see "Open another mailbox..." in Outlook Web App

After Outlook on the web update, I am unable to find out the option to open another mailbox. So, I had to switch back to old Outlook.

 

- New Outlook

  • Hi,

    There is no option currently, but there is a workaround. As memory serves from doing many migrations over the years and assuming you have full permissions over the mailbox you should be able to open it be changing the browser URL from

    https://outlook.office.com/mail/inbox

    To

    https://outlook.office.com/mail/mailboxupn

     

    as in

     

    https://outlook.office.com/mail/username@domain.com


    And assuming you have full permissions it should open. As said, I know its not the actual function as of yet, but it may be a workaround of use.

    Hope that helps

    Best, Chris

  • Sadly that's a known limitation with the "preview" experience. It should eventually be addressed, but for the time being if you need it, you must use the old experience.
