Adding a shared mailbox to Outlook (New)

If you add the permissions in Exchange, the shared mailbox should appear in the new Outlook under the shared with me folder, located in the sidebar, after a few minutes. You can expand it to see if this is the case. If it is still not appearing, you can try to add it with the following steps and check whether the shared mailbox displays in your Folder list under this folder.
