I subscribed office 365 business plan (compare office 365 enterprise) single user. Then I thought how to create a professional support mail id without subscribing another user licence. Then shared mailbox concept came into picture. This post describes how to create  shared mailboxes office 365.

Follow the step by step process below

  • Expand “Users” and click on “Active Users”.
  • Click on “just want to add an email address”.
