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.

    Ik wil geen folder of account aan favorieten toevoegen maar alleen de inbox van de verschillende gedeelde mailboxen.

    You can add the shared inbox as a favorite, just not a specific folder within the inbox.

    Not everyone can favorite a shared folder in the new Outlook yet. Our company has not turned on that function as of yet. So, I'm stuck scrolling down and to view my shared Global Mailboxes or stay with the old Outlook where I have those inboxes saved as a favorite.

    Well, that's a bummer. I actually had to click on the FAVORITES at the top to add it. There wasn't the right-click option.

    This option is as useless as not having it at all. Cannot add the 'Inbox' so cannot see unread email displayed in the list quickly/easily. Also when selecting, no way to select the inbox in the view. Unsure who thought this was a solution that is anywhere near the fully functional facility that is available in legacy Outlook. Seems there is no actual thought process gone into this. Not impressed. 2 years of waiting for this and still unuseable. Thanks Microsoft for completely missing the point...again.
