Hi,

not sure what you mean by "is a member of a shared folder". Do you have a Full Access for the shared mailbox?

If so, or have an admin rights on Exchange, you login to OWA as yourself or administrator, then Open other mailbox, put the shared mailbox name, open it, Options - Organize Email - and set up an Inbox rule to forward all incoming emails to your mailbox.

In powershell:

get-mailbox -identity "shared mailbox name" | set-mailbox -ForwardingAddress yourmailbox

If you wan to keep a copy in the shared mailbox add -DeliverToMailboxAndForward $True to the end of the command.

Thanks for your reply.

Sorry, I meant a shared mailbox.

In OWA, my folder list has my@domain.com and its inbox and shared@domain.com and its inbox.  I want the emails to the shared inbox to forward automatically to my inbox.  Emails to shared@domain.com currently correctly go to the shared inbox.

I've set up a rule to forward shared to my but it doesn't work.  I've right clicked my@domain.com, selected "Add a shared folder.." and that doesn't work either.  I've set up a rule to forward all messages to my inbox and that doesn't work.

I'm not sure what you mean by "then Open other mailbox, put the shared mailbox name, open it, Options - Organize Email"?
