Hi @Radosław Jachymiak ,

Agreed with Schneider that you can get a copy of the folder structure using the Archive option in Outlook, and then import the PST file to the new mailbox so that the folder structure can be replicated.

You can add both mailboxes to Outlook to go through the procedures. For steps about how to add shared mailboxes to Outlook as additional accounts, you can refer to: How to add a shared mailbox as additional account in Outlook.
