Adding a Mailbox

To add a mailbox to the Outlook app, there are two primary methods you can follow. It's important to note that the first method is recommended when dealing with group, shared, or generic email account mailboxes. The second method is provided for sharing specific folders within your own mail account, such as your @tru.ca mailbox. Sharing mailbox folders requires both the mailbox owner and the person with whom the mailbox is being shared to set it up.
