Shared Mailboxes in Outlook for Android
The roadmap states that "Outlook for Android: Support shared mailboxes" is currently rolling out (as of July 3rd) and should be fully rolled out by the end of Q2. If our tenancy already supports Microsoft Sync Tech, what is needed for our users to start using this feature? Will it rely on an Outlook for Android app update (currently on 3.0.107), tenancy support (any powershell cmds we can run to see if it's enabled for us?), or a test track being enabled (we're currently on Targeted Release for everyone)? Really looking forward to testing this! It's a very highly sought after feature from our clients!
- Thanks Vasil. We're behind on the shared mailbox rollout. Currently, we've targeted 25% of tenants to have the functionality. We'll be completing the rollout in the next few weeks. Once it is live, you'll see the option to add a shared mailbox automatically.
No tenant settings needed afaik, I suppose a client update is needed for the relevant bits. Ross Smith IV might be able to share more details.

Can a user with access to another users mailbox (for example an PA\EA) use this to add their managers mailbox to their device? If Yes, what permissions\delegation is required?
