Add folder from a shared mailbox to favorites

Hi,

I am using the "new" Outlook for Windows. It seems that it is no longer possible to move a folder from a shared mailbox to the favorites folder. This used to be possible in the "old" version. Is this feature gone or am I overlooking something?

Thanks for your help.

    Well I tried the new version (again) and yes I managed to add "some" other folders from shared mailboxes to the favorites. Still, some other shared folders simply cannot be found (using the search feature), and thus cannot be added.

    Also, specific subfolders cannot be added.

    Also, there is no indicator of unread e-mails.

    Was THIS the new feature? If yes, then it will remain as useless as before.

    I just checked the roadmap for this feature, and it looks like they've actually started rolling this out - FINALLY!

    Not sure how long this is going to take, but they started!!
