Delegated accounts (Outlook) (MacOS)

Add as mailbox

 

As a rule, delegated accounts are also added when a primary account is added and displayed as separate folders under the mailboxes. However, if a delegation is not set up until later, it may sometimes be necessary to add the mailbox later.

To add the mailbox later, open Outlook and then your settings by clicking on "Microsoft Outlook" and "Settings" in the menu bar.
