Sharing an Exchange mailbox with others can be a bit tricky, but I'll guide you through the process. Please note that the exact steps may vary depending on your organization's Exchange configuration and policies.

Prerequisites:

1. You have an Exchange mailbox (e.g., Outlook, Outlook Web App, or Exchange Online).
2. You have the necessary permissions to share your mailbox (e.g., you're an administrator or have been granted the necessary permissions).

Method 1: Delegate Access

1. Log in to the Exchange Admin Center (EAC) or Outlook Web App.
2. Go to the "Recipients" tab and select "Mailboxes" or "Users".
3. Find your mailbox and click on the three dots next to it, then select "Delegate Access".
4. Click "Add" and enter the email address or name of the person you want to share your mailbox with.
5. Choose the permissions you want to grant (e.g., "Editor", "Author", or "Contributor").
6. Click "Save" to apply the changes.

Method 2: Shared Mailbox

1. Log in to the Exchange Admin Center (EAC) or Outlook Web App.
2. Go to the "Recipients" tab and select "Mailboxes" or "Users".
3. Click "New" and select "Shared Mailbox".
4. Enter a name and email address for the shared mailbox.
5. Choose the permissions you want to grant (e.g., "Editor", "Author", or "Contributor").
6. Click "Save" to create the shared mailbox.
7. Add the users you want to share the mailbox with by clicking "Add" and entering their email addresses.

Method 3: Public Folder

1. Log in to the Exchange Admin Center (EAC) or Outlook Web App.

Additional Tips:

• Make sure to set up the necessary permissions and access controls to ensure that only authorized users can access your shared mailbox.
• Consider setting up a shared calendar or contacts folder to share additional information with the users you're sharing your mailbox with.
• If you're using Exchange Online, you may need to use the Microsoft 365 admin center instead of the Exchange Admin Center.

Remember to always follow your organization's policies and guidelines when sharing your mailbox with others.
