Opening and integrating a mailbox

Opening and integrating a mailbox

Kurzinformation

As delegate, you need to open the inbox of the person you are representing on every occasion, if you want to have access to it. 

For this reason we advise integrating the mailbox into your Outlook client.

You can remove the integrated mailbox any time.


Detailinformation

Note: How to share the mailbox with other users can be found here: Permanent mailbox access

To open a shared mailbox, select “Open” under the tab “File”. Click on “Other User’s Folder”.

The mailbox of this person closes as soon as you click on a different module or your mailbox. To open it again, you have to repeat the process.
