I see in the new version of Outlook that all my shared mailboxes are now in "Shared with me" section. I can't see to add them back to my favorites. Has anyone been about to do this?

    Your admins can update your release schedule on an individual basis, mine did for me.

    Can’t hurt to send in a ticket stating your case and provide the instructions in this thread.

    SOLUTION

    Can't upload a screenshot of it for some reason so hopefully everyone can follow this:

    1. In the New Version of Outlook, expand the Shared With Me file - it has the icon with the two overlapping squares beside it.
    2. Expand the shared email name - it has a little icon of a file with a "person" on the bottom right corner (for me it's called Marketing).
    3. Click the Inbox file.
    4. Inbox will open with all the emails - At the top of the emails is the name Inbox and beside it is an outline of a star - CLICK THE STAR! The star will turn Blue and you should now have that file from that mailbox in your favorites.
    5. The star "favorites" something. You should see it at the top of all of your folders.

    Hope this helps everyone!

    This sounds like the solution, but I still don't have the star on my new outlook. Checked for updates, you must be on a newer release that is not yet a part of the safe large organizational approved versions.

    This is helpful, thank you! However, I have sub-folders, which need to cascade from the email address vs. the Inbox so, unfortunately, this isn't mimicking the previous version. #RevertingYetAgain
