      Note

      If the login address is the address of the shared mailbox, you will need to replace it with your own. If it’s greyed out and you instead see "sign in with another account", click that and log in as yourself there.

      If your credential window does not appear similar to the one pictured, make sure you're entering the address correctly. If it's still not working, please visit remote support for further assistance

      The account will then appear on the left-hand side of Outlook.
