Share Folders and Shared Mailboxes You can share any email folder in your account with other users. This may be for collaborating on a project or to make sure that emails are answered when you are away. Folders shared to you appear in your navigation pane. You can also use Outlook on the Web to access a group account by using a shared mailbox. Group accounts are email addresses that belong to a program, department or workgroup rather than an individual. Multiple people can access and manage this email account. Shared mailboxes can be accessed by opening the account in another tab. Set Up Your Mailbox for Sharing Before you can share an email folder, you must set up your mailbox so it can share email folders. If you do not do this, any folders you share are inaccessible. This is done by granting folder visible permissions to the default user. 1. In the navigation pane, right click on your mailbox (your name) and choose Permissions 2. In the permissions dialog box, click on the Default user at the top. 3. In the permissions section, locate the Other section and check the box next to Folder visible. 4. Click OK to close the permissions dialog box. Your mailbox is now set for you to share email folders. Now that your mailbox is set up to allow users to access shared folders, you can set up permissions on individual folders.

Create and read items, and edit and delete items you create. Create and read items. Delete items you create. Read items only. Create items only. The contents of the folder do not appear. You have no permissions. This is the default permission for all email folders. 10

Share a Folder 1. Right click on the folder you want to share and from the menu choose Permissions 2. The Permissions dialog box appears. By default, no one but the owner has permission to see the contents of an email folder. 3.

Type the email address of the user you want to share with in the Add permissions box and click Add. 5. In the Permissions dialog box, choose the permission level for the user from the Permission level pull down box. Click OK. NOTE: You do not have to use the pre defined permission levels. Use the radio buttons and checkboxes to create custom permission levels. View Shared Folders When someone shares a folder to you, the user who shared the folder must tell you that they shared a folder to you. Then, you can find folders shared to you from that user and view them in the navigation pane. 1. In the navigation pane, right click on your mailbox (your name). 2. From the menu, choose Add shared folder 3. The Add shared folder dialog box appears. In the box, type in the email address of the user who shared a folder to you and click Add. 11

When you are sending email as another user, the sent mail will only appear in your Sent Items folder. The owner of the folder will not see the message in their Sent Items folder. Any items deleted in a shared folder will move to your Deleted Items folder and the owner of the folder will not see the message in their Deleted Items folder. 1. Click the New mail button to begin a new email message. 2. In the reading pane, click the More commands ( ) button. From the menu, choose Show From. 3. In the From line, select your email address and press the Delete key on the keyboard. 4. In the From line, type the email address of the person who owns the shared folder. 5. Complete the rest of the message and then click Send. Open a Shared Mailbox You can access a group account by opening a shared mailbox that appears in a new tab in the browser window. While group accounts can be set up as a shared folder, it is recommended that you do not as any sent or deleted mail will go in your folders and not the folders of the shared mailbox. Opening the shared mailbox in a new tab also simplifies the process of sending email as you do not have to change the name of the sender because you are sending emails directly from the group account. All mail sent from the shared mailbox will go in the Sent Items folder for the group account and all deleted items will go in the Deleted Items folder for the group account. For this reason, it is recommended that you open a shared mailbox to access a group account. 1. To the right of the pane of apps, you will see a person icon or your photo. Click the icon or photo. 2. In the menu, choose Open another mailbox... 3. In the Open another mailbox dialog box, type in the email address of the group account. 4. Click the Open button. 5. The shared mailbox will open in a new browser tab. From here, you can work with the group account in the same way that you would use your own email account. 12

Categories Categories are another way to organize your email messages. You can assign color coded categories or create your own and then search to see all messages that have the same category.

Choose a message that you want to categorize by first clicking on the message in the reading pane, then clicking the Categories button in the toolbar. Select a category from the menu. 2. Once you choose a category, the color assigned to the category appears in the email in the message pane and the reading pane. Create a Category In addition to using the pre made color categories, you can create custom category names and assign custom colors. 1. When assigning a category using the message pane, right click the message, click the Categories button in the toolbar and then choose Manage categories. 2. In the box that appears, click Add new category. A new window will open. 3. Assign a new color to the category by clicking on the down arrow next to the text box. Choose a color from the palette that appears. 13

4. Type the name of the new category in the text box and click OK. NOTE: You can assign more than one category to a message. To do this, go back to the categories list and choose another category for the message. Remove Categories If you no longer want an email categorized, you can remove a category from a message. 1. Click on the Categories button in the toolbar. 2. Click on either the check marked category or Clear categories. The latter will clear all categories associated with the selected email. Search for Messages The search bar at the top of the navigation pane will allow you to search your mailbox for specific items. 1. To begin a general search of all your mail, click in the Search Mail and People bar above the navigation pane. 2. As you type, options will appear both below the search box and in the navigation pane. Using those options, you can narrow down your search. 14

3. For more specific searching, you can use a prefix followed by a colon (:). For example, typing into the search box subject:training. This will return messages that have the word training in the subject line. The table below has more search prefixes: Prefix from: to: cc: bcc: participants: subject: body: sent: received: category: attachment: has: What it does Searches From field Searches To field Searches Cc field Searches Bcc field Searches the To, Cc and Bcc fields Searches the subject Searches the body of the message Searches the date sent (works with dates or relative dates like today or last week) Searches the date received (works with dates or relative dates like today or last week) Searches the category field Searches for the attachment name Used with other prefixes and keywords such as has:attachment or has:flag NOTE: You can further refine your search by putting search terms in parenthesis ( ); the search feature will then look for both items. If you put search terms in quotes the search feature will look for an exact match of the string of characters in the results. 4. To exit the search, click the Exit search button at the top of the search pane. People App The People app of Outlook on the Web is an address book for your contacts.

Create a Contact List If you find that you send many email messages with the same list of recipients, you can create a contact list to simplify the process. Instead of adding all contact names to an email message, you can add the name of the contact list and the message is sent to everyone on the list. 1. From the People app, click the down arrow next to the New button. 2. Select Contact list from the result menu. 3. Next, name the contact list under the List name text box. 4.
