Directly with a Specific URL

To go directly to a shared mailbox in the Office 365 OWA, without starting in your own mailbox, you must use (and bookmark) a specific URL for each shared mailbox you want to access this way:

https://outlook.office365.com/owa/[email name of mailbox]@findlay.edu/

For example, if the shared mailbox for the Derrick The Oiler Fan Club email is derrickfans@findlay.edu, the URL is https://owa.findlay.edu/owa/derrickfans@findlay.edu.

When you sign in with your Office 365 username and password, you will be taken directly to the shared mailbox.
