3. On the Settings screen, choose Add Account, then choose Add an Email Account. 

4. Enter the name of the Shared Mailbox (example: sharedaccount@stcloudstate.edu), then click continue.

This will take you to an office 365 login screen asking for a password. Since it is a shared mailbox and you most likely do not have a password, click the back arrow on your phone.

5. A new screen will appear called Choose Account Type. Select IMAP  

6. Turn on the switch for Advanced Settings and enter the following information:

  •  Email Address: SharedMailbox@stcloudstate.edu
  • Password:  YOUR StarID account password
  • Display Name: what you want the mailbox to be called
  • IMAP Hostname: outlook.office365.com
  • IMAP Username: (your_primary_account)@stcloudstate.edu
  • IMAP Password: YOUR StarID account password
  • SMTP Hostname: smtp.office365.com:587
  • SMTP Username: (your_primary_account)@stcloudstate.edu
