I don't think I mentioned calendars in the original post, as those are an issue as well. The Headteacher wants to try and maintain one calendar, but I'm not sure there's an easy way to achieve that. Most of the appointments are put in by one of the PAs, although some come from external sources in the form of email invites. Those will go to both mailboxes.

Hi CMSCMSCMS 

 

It's been years since I've used the Mac version of Outlook, but I know the Windows version of Outlook can combine the calendar view so two or more calendars can be merged - you can colour code it to keep track of which mailbox the appointment belongs to, but otherwise appears as a single calendar. I would hope Outloo for Mac would also have this ability?

    HidMov Not sure about the Mac version. The Headteacher's PA will need to see the calendars from both accounts, and this has been tested with the Windows version, and I understand is possible.
