Access a Shared Account/Mailbox - Webmail

Accessing a shared mailbox via Webmail provides a way to adjust settings and rules that pertain to just the shared account rather than your own — without the need for a password. For Microsoft's documentation on opening a shared mailbox using Webmail, see Open and use a shared mailbox in Outlook. 

Direct access

This access will directly open the shared mailbox in a new tab. 

1. Open a browser and log in to Webmail (go/mail/) with your own Middlebury email.

2. Click the account icon (circle with your initials or profile picture) in the top right of the screen.

3. Click Open another mailbox in the drop-down.

   

4. Type the email address of the shared mailbox; select it from the drop-down list, then click Continue.

5. A separate tab will open on your browser for the shared account.

   • You can now adjust settings for this account, create mailbox rules, add contacts, and more — all of which are specific to the shared account, rather than your own.

Folder access

This access will show the shared mailbox as a 'folder' under your email account.

1. Open a browser and log in to Webmail (go/mail/) with your own Middlebury email.

2. Go to Settings (gear icon).

3. On the far left, select the tab for Account > Shared with me. 

4. Click + Add.

5. Type the email address of the shared mailbox; select it from the drop-down list, then click Open.

6. You will see a confirmation that the account has been added, and you can click Close. 

7. Refresh the tab, after which you should see the account listed as a 'folder' under your email.
