Permission for add shared Exchange Mailbox in Outlook

Question

Hi,

A customer want's a shared mailbox to be "read only" for the employees and also to be always visible inside Outlook.
When i add the mailbox permission ReadPermission on the shared mailbox for some employees, the employe get asked for username and password.
The password prompt pop up again, even with correct username and password, so this is not working.

What permissions or configurations are needed, to add a shared mailbox "read only" in a Outlook profile?

Regards,
Tantony

Answer 1

There really isnt a way to do this other than delegating each specific folder in that mailbox you want them to have access to in that shared mailbox. Giving them reviewer rights for instance.

Answer 2

I was afraid, that this will be the only possibility.
Thank you for your response.
