Support for shared mailboxes
Office 365 shared mailboxes are very useful. Unfortunately, they do not load outlook web add-ins right now: see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35059067/make-outlook-add-ins-working-with-office-365-shared-mailboxes/35065215
This would be terrific to have add-ins for such mailboxes especially for all CRMs related apps

Hi Office Extensibility Team,
Please provide an update on when this will be reviewed and possibly implemented.
To some of the earlier comments, what's the point of user voice if the #1 request is ignored for years with no update?
Regards,
Simon. -

I can see that this is request is now in its third year. Such a shame its has not been resolved yet. I would be interested to understand how we can work around this issue if there is no fix, without resorting to a third-party solution or re-engineering our business processes.

Apart from shared mbx, our Office365 clients are often require add secondary mailbox mainly by setup delegation, sometimes added manually, if add-in works for those mbx that will be great help.

Hi Microsoft, We need this feature of using the Outlook Web Add-ins in shared mailboxes as our users are mostly using the emails in the shared mail box.

This is a much needed feature!
I was just about to start wasting thousands of dollars on an Outlook add-in for shared inbox; luckily found this thread in time... -

The worst part about this "feature", is that it wasn't identified in any of the documentation we read (2 years ago). We spent thousands of dollars building our web based add-in, only to find out during testing that it wouldn't work on shared mailboxes, so then we had to build a new interface using VSTO to complete the project.
Microsoft, just admit it... You don't know how to fix this issue... do you?

Our company built an add-in for saving time for our busy lawyers ... the lack of support for shared mailbox is really hurting our efficiency savings. Been in the backlog for 2 years?

A large number of teams in our organization use shared mailboxes - not having this feature is a serious impediment to any future worflow efficiency programmes we undertake.

@Microsoft team. I think many people would appreciate if you would give a reaction on this thread. As you see many people are waiting for this for over two years. It beats the purpose of this UserVoice if the voice of the user is ignored and/or not treated with respect. At least that is my opinion.....

I agree, we have several shared mailboxes in our organization the we utilize to create cases/tasks. This feature worked fine with the manually installed plugin but does not work with the add-in created in O365 Admin Portal. Looking forward to hear that this has been fixed.
