titleWhy can't I use a Shared Email in the Mail for iOS app?

UT Austin Office 365 accounts can no longer use IMAP, POP, or SMTP protocols to connect to Office 365 Exchange Online. This increases security and closes an attack vector that is used in a large percentage of email-based attacks. For more information, please see this knowledge base article: https://ut.service-now.com/sp?id=kb_article&number=KB0018268

The Mail app doesn't support Office 365 Resource Accounts natively. While the Mail app supports manual configuration using IMAP, POP and SMTP protocols, UT Office 365 accounts don't support using those protocols.

titleI switched to the "New Outlook" in my Mac desktop app and now Shared Emails aren't working. Why?

Microsoft has added additional features and a new look to the Outlook for Mac application, however, the new Outlook for Mac has limitations. Currently, it does not support Shared Emails, Delegates, Block Sender, and other features. The new Outlook for Mac is not required and updating your Outlook app will not turn on the new look automatically.

If you'd like to use the new Outlook for Mac but manage Resource Email accounts, one option is to manage Resource accounts using the Outlook Web App. 

For more information about the new Outlook for Mac, its additional features, and limitations, see Microsoft's support page here
