Adding an Additional Account in Outlook
Adding an Additional Account in Outlook
- Click the File menu in Outlook.

- Click Add Account, as shown below:
- Enter in the full address of the shared mailbox you'd like to add to Outlook (SharedMailbox@unt.edu is our example):
- Click Connect
- Outlook will prompt you to authenticate to the mailbox.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Outlook will automatically populate the username field with the shared mailbox address, but you must change this to your E-mail address (use your EUID password). You do not need the shared mailbox password. Both things shown below:
Change this to your full E-mail address (also known as your UPN) and use your EUID password, as shown below:
- Click OK on the Account Setup Complete page
If you receive an error at this stage:- Try restarting your computer first and try again.
- If the error persists: Take a screen shot
- Reply to your confirmation e-mail (keeping the Ticket# in the subject line), and paste the screen shot into your reply message.
- After the mailbox is added, it's a good idea to Restart Outlook.
- Remember: if you are prompted to authenticate to the mailbox again, use your E-mail address and EUID password.
