Today, I am writing about creating a site mailbox on a SharePoint Online site. Site Mailbox is a central email and document sharing account that we can access from a SharePoint site. A team member can use a Site Mailbox to team up on composing an important email message or gathering applicable team-level email conversations.
So, I am creating Site Mailbox on SharePoint Team site.
Below are the screen shots for creating the same step by step.
- Log into the Team site. Make sure you have admin rights or appropriate permission to access site contents.
- Once the Team site is opened, click on Settings gear from the right side of the page.
- Now, select Site contents from listed options and click on Site Mailbox.
- Once you click on the Site Mailbox app, it will get created automatically, without asking for any other details.
- See the below screenshot for more details. The Team Site page will be show the output as shown below.
