Creating a shared email inbox

Personalise
E-mail Marketing

Creating a shared email inbox makes it easy for a group of people to monitor and send email, as well as share a team calendar from one account.

A shared mailbox allows you and a group of colleagues to monitor and send email from a public email alias like studentservices@unsw.edu.au. When a person with access to the account replies to a message sent to the shared mailbox, the email appears to be from the shared address, not the individual user. You can also use the shared mailbox as a shared team calendar.

Create a shared inbox

  1. Request for access from the IT Service Centre by sending the听OSA 05 - Special Purpose Email Account or Shared Exchange Mailbox form to itservicecentre@unsw.edu.au.
  2. Please ensure that you have the following before requesting for the access:
    1. Approval from either the mailbox owner or manager/team lead (if the request comes from a staff member that already has the access to the shared email then that will also suffice).
    2. The name or email address of the shared email
    3. If requesting for another staff member, the name(s) and/or zID of the people that require access.
  3. Once a confirmation email has been received from the IT Service Centre advising that you have been granted access to the shared email, please allow up to 4 hours before trying to add or access the shared email.

Please see guides below on how to access/add the shared emails.
