Shared Mailbox
A shared mailbox gives multiple people access to send and receive messages and calendar invitations from a single email address that is not associated with an individual.
Departments will find the shared mailbox useful for several reasons:
- Provides a central department mailbox allowing staff with permissions to view and respond to messages.
- Scheduling and viewing team PTO or shift work.
- Organizing meetings.
- Increased security — owners and members log in with their own Andrew userID and password.
Optional Tools and Features
- Google Groups for Business - this robust tool allows you to create a collaborative shared mailbox, forum, or archive for an unlimited number of users. You can also invite group members to core Google apps, such as a Google Shared Calendar, Google Drive, and more!
