Outlook 2013 Multiple exchange accounts without entering pwd on tablet or mobile phone

Hello, We are using exchange server and offiche 365.

On destop and laptop computers we can share (parts of) mailboxes and caladars of multiple users. You can configure this with account settings, more.

Is it possible to do this on windows/android tablets or smartphones?

If so how can we configure this?

Thanks

Hi,

Do you mean you'd like to access your email or calendar on Windows/Android tablets or smartphone?

You should be able to install Outlook on your Windows tablet, which usually runs a regular version of Windows system on it (for Surface with Windows RT, it has Office RT pre-installed for free. This includes Outlook RT). Then you can use it just like the desktop version.

For the Android tablet or smartphones, we have Outlook for Android app (or Microsoft Outlook Preview) available from the Google Play Store, you can install it on your device, then configure your mail account by going to tap Settings > Add Account. Or you can access your email by using the built-in mail app.

However, some features might not be available on these apps, for example, when you set up an Exchange account on a smartphone, it opens your mailbox, not the shared mailbox.

Of course, you can access all your mail items via Outlook Web App on these devices.

Here is the reference you might need:

If this doesn't help, please try to be more specific on your questions, then we will have a further look.

Hi Antoine,

You can use OWA to access them.

I haven't tried, but if you have full mailbox access and send as access on the other mailbox, you might try setting up additional Activesync accounts \profiles on the device.

This should present you separate Inboxes to access them individually.

ActiveSync has restrcitions on doing this.

Email ID portion keep the other mailbox, and username password would be your's.

IMAP: Add other account -> Mail Account

Name: Name of shared Mailbox

Email: email address of the shared mailbox

Password: password of your exchange account

Description: the name you want to display on your device for reference
