Shared mailbox cannot be pinned to Favorite
If you are unable to add a shared mailbox to your Outlook Favorites, you can try the following:
1. Check permission: Make sure you have “Full Access” permission.
2. Right-click: Right-click on the shared mailbox in the folder pane to see if there is a “Show in Favorites” option; if there is no such option, it may be a permission or setting issue.
3. Update Outlook and clear cache: Make sure you are using a version of Outlook that supports this feature and check if it is the latest version.
Clear cache: Close Outlook and delete the contents of the %localappdata%\Microsoft\Outlook\RoamCache folder (only affects the local cache).
4. Re-add shared mailboxes: Try removing and re-adding shared mailboxes.
5. Use Outlook Web (OWA): If you are having problems with the desktop client, try operating through the web version of Outlook.
Hi TannerBlaze,
Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately this concerns the new Outlook, not the Classic version.
My IT provider stated this clearing cache is based on the Classic one.
Do your have options for the new Outlook? I would be very grateful as it still is not resolved.
Kind regards, Astrid
