As a business grows past one person, a shared mailbox becomes essential for handling general inquiries without confusion.
What a Shared Mailbox Is
A shared mailbox, like info@yourbusiness.com or support@yourbusiness.com, allows multiple team members to view and respond to the same inbox.
Why It Beats Forwarding to One Person
Forwarding to a single inbox creates a bottleneck. A shared mailbox means anyone on the team can respond, even if one person is out.
Keep Individual Addresses Too
Shared addresses work best for general inquiries, while individual Professional Email addresses are better for direct client relationships.
Setting It Up With Microsoft 365

Avoid Common Confusion
