If you try to go to [[Outlook]] to open a [[Shared Mailbox]] in [[Microsoft Exchange Online|exchange online]] without a license, you’ll get a message saying your admin account doesn’t have a license or a mailbox. To get around this, you’ll need to use a URL like:
`https://outlook.office.com/owa/
[email protected]/?offline=disabled`
or if you want the ‘new’ [[Outlook]].
`https://outlook.office.com/mail/
[email protected]/?offline=disabled`
It will then jump straight to that user’s mailbox, assuming you have access rights to it, and have waited a few minutes for the rights to apply.
Using the URL method is really quick way of accessing another user’s mailbox without needing a license yourself.
