Outlook Additional Mailbox Query

Hi,

Another quirky one from me as per

Does anyone know how I can add 2 additional mailboxes to 2 different email accounts in Outlook,

1 is an exchange email account with an exchange additional mailbox added to it

The other is a NHS.net mailbox with a generic NHS.net mailbox added to it

But it seems that only the default email (the one added first) will have the option to add an additional mailbox, for the other account (added second) this option is greyed out.

It appears this is a limitation of Outlook,

Has anyone seen this or has a workaround?

Cheers

Lee

A colleague of mine ran into this limitation. It's a documented limitation of Outlook, and we were unable to find any workaround.

Thanks, figured a workaround is to add the additional mailbox as another account instead..

Maybe Outlook 2013 has this option?

It was Outook 2013 that I was using. I was working for a MS partner at the time so we were always on the latest/greatest on the desktop.
