Copy Sent Items to Shared Mailboxes and delegates

From Exchange 2013 Cu9 or later versions of Exchange 2013 and Exchange Online (Office 365). When user sends emails using send as over a shared mailbox we have an option of saving sent items on the shared mailboxes. So that all sent items can be stored in a centralized location. make sure all the exchange 2013 servers in the environment running cu9 or later.

Lets see how to do that.

  • you cannot login to a shared mailbox directly.
  • Sent items are not stored when you do SendAs by default.
  • Mostly shared mailboxes are department mailboxes like HR, contact us, info mailboxes.

Creating a Shared Mailbox –

To Remove the Mailbox Permission –

Remove-MailboxPermission -Identity ayla -User "Jim Hance" -AccessRights FullAccess –Inheritance

Providing User2 Send As to the Common Mailbox –

On-premises –

Add-ADPermission -Identity commonmailbox -User user3 -ExtendedRights "Send As"
