We can set up shared mailboxes - mailboxes where more than one person can have access - for special purposes such as workshops, conferences, etc. You access the mailbox using your regular physics account, rather than having a separate username and password.

To access shared mailboxes you have been granted access to, you will need to be using Mozilla Thunderbird.

Steps to setup Thunderbird so it displays your shared mailboxes:

• Click on the File menu and then the Subscribe option
• Expand the user folder by clicking on the + sign to the left of its folder icon
• Check all shared mailboxes you want to use
• Click OK
• Your new items will now appear in the (left hand) folder tree in thunderbird.

The shared mailboxes should now appear in the tree view under your private Inbox in the user folder.

Steps to setup Webmail so it displays your shared mailboxes:

• Click on the Folders link at the top of the main window
• Go to the bottom of the Folders page to the Unsubscribe/Subscribe area
• Select all desired mailboxes on the right hand side (use CTRL to select more than one) and click Subscribe

The shared mailboxes should now appear in the left pane under Inbox.
