A shared mailbox (also known as a generic mailbox) is a type of mailbox that can be accessed by a group of users from the same organisation.
The shared mailbox may be used for several reasons (e.g. a district nursing team may have a shared mailbox for incoming referrals that the entire team has access to so anyone on duty can read or action the email).
If you are the owner of a shared mailbox, you can add and remove members and owners to the mailbox. To set up or delete a shared mailbox or change any other setting, contact your Local Administrator.
To manage your shared mailbox:
1. Sign-in to the NHSmail Portal using your .net credentials
2. Click Profile in the navigation bar at the top of the screen and Click My Shared Mailboxes.
