What is a Shared or Delegated mailbox in Outlook?
Shared Mailboxes in Outlook are used so that it is easy for a group of people in a department to monitor a given inbox and send emails from a public alias.
For example:
Support team or Customer Success team in a company would want to send responses from a public email but also give access to that inbox to all members of the team. A shared Mailbox can be used in such cases.
Delegates are used in Outlook when you want to delegate a part of your day-to-day work with your Outlook mail or calendar or notes or tasks to someone else in your organization so that they can handle that part of the work.
For example:
A CEO can give delegate access to his Personal Assistant with a permission level set to Respond to meeting invites on his behalf.
He can also give access to his Inbox so that he can read and respond on CEO’s behalf.
Similar to having an assistant who helps you manage your incoming paper mail, another person, known as a delegate, can receive and respond to email messages and meeting requests and responses on your behalf. You can also grant the delegate additional permissions to read, create, or change items in your Microsoft Exchange Server mailbox.
Use ExtendSync in your Shared or Delegate Mailbox
Once you switch to Shared Mailbox and log in to the app, the app will detect that you are working with a Shared or Delegate Mailbox and that is displayed to you at all times be it the Welcome screen or Contextual screen.
You will be able to do all operations that you can do with your Personal inbox with Shared Mailbox and Delegate mailbox as well.
You can associate records using Onetime or the Autopilot functionality.
Autopilot will work provided your Admin has enabled Email and Thread Autopilot for the Shared or Delegate Mailbox email ID.
As this is a Shared Mailbox, if someone else has associated the mail, other people having access to the Shared Mailbox can see the associated records with the purple icon as shown below. This would avoid the same mail being associated with NetSuite records again and creating duplicates.
