Info

Be patient when you restart Outlook. Email messages, folders and calendar appointments in the shared mailbox will require time to download from the server. The next time you click on the New Email button, you will have the option to send from the shared mailbox or from your own UWaterloo account. To ensure that the shared account is working properly, try sending a test message.
