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.

Cannot stress enough how important this feature is. I have only just tried to move over to new Outlook, in August 2024, and this feature is still not available. It is obvious to me from seeing how many more people have responded to this post since April 2023 that is a basic requirement for your users.
I'm not sure if you all have found a solution or a workaround to this since this thread started... What I have done is open a tab with the mailbox in it. That was I can monitor it daily and I do get notifications as new mail comes in.
Hopefully this help
Same issue. This definitely needs to be added back. I constantly use it to monitor the inbox of different accounts. Now I have to keep scrolling to that mailbox to view the inbox.
You can add shared mailboxes in OWA.
You have to click on "Folders" then "Add shared folder or mailbox" an search for the box you want to add.
But the new Outlook is still a pain in the a**
I am so desperate that I thought of changing to Thunderbird...
Even using the OWA is a pain because I cant add shared mailboxes at all...
