1. Log into OWA with your own account email address and password.
2. Click the down arrow drop down menu next to your name in the upper right corner.
3. In the “Select Mailbox” field, type in the email or name of the shared Inbox you are trying to access.
4. This should give you a list of matching mailbox names within your company.
5.Choose the mailbox you are trying to access and click OK.
