Shared Mailbox - Hidden Emails

Description:

If the inbox is showing more unread emails than can be seen it is likely that the emails have been marked as private.

Solution:

As a quick fix the emails can be viewed from the web version of Outlook

Shared Mailbox - Access from Webmail

To allow everyone with access to see them in the client version (anyone with access to the mailbox can do this):

  • Open the mailbox from the web

  • Go to the calendar view

  • Right click on the calendar & select sharing permissions

  • For staff already listed, click on the drop down box next to their name - select delegate & then tick Let delegate view private items

  • For staff not listed (all staff who have access may not be listed automatically), type their name in the top box select delegate & tick private items then click Share

  • Once all the access is set click Done at the top

A sharing invitation email will be sent automatically - they can just delete that email.
