On the next dialog screen, you will be asked to complete the authentication process. Once that part is complete, press the Next button. Here, make sure to replace the shared mailbox address with * your* UserPrincipalName attribute (as in, the username you use to access Office 365, which might be different from your email address). You will be presented with the following dialog: To make this possible, click on the “ Sign in with another account” link.

The steps however should work for every version that features the new look and feel for the add account dialog.Īpart from the changes in Outlook, some additional changes in the process can be seen due to the deeper integration with Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (version 1709 or later). This is NOT the first version to have the new “add account” experience.

With several titles on Bookboon, Shelley spends time learning new features of each release of Office and creating training courses and books. Prior to setting up tomorrow's VA , Shelley ran The IT Training Surgery, a face to face training company which she sold in January 2019.
