Does mail still go to a ahared mailbox in 365

In Microsoft 365, the concept of a "shared mailbox" is a bit different from what you might be used to in traditional email systems.

In Microsoft 365, a shared mailbox is a mailbox that is shared by multiple users, but it's not a physical mailbox where mail is delivered. Instead, it's a virtual mailbox that allows multiple users to access and manage the same mailbox.

When you create a shared mailbox in Microsoft 365, you're essentially creating a new mailbox that is associated with a specific email address. This mailbox can be accessed by multiple users, who can send and receive emails on behalf of the shared mailbox.

Here's how it works:

  1. You create a new shared mailbox in Microsoft 365, specifying the email address and other settings.
  2. You add users to the shared mailbox, giving them permission to access and manage the mailbox.
  3. When a user sends an email to the shared mailbox, it's delivered to the mailbox's inbox, just like any other email.
  4. The users with access to the shared mailbox can log in to the mailbox and view, reply to, or forward emails sent to the shared mailbox.

So, to answer your question, mail does not go to a physical mailbox in the classical sense. Instead, it's delivered to a virtual mailbox that can be accessed by multiple users.

I hope that helps clarify things!
