General

The Outlook App for phones now supports shared mailboxes. You can, however, can also setup a shortcut on your phone to easily open a shared mailbox via a browser. The instructions in this article show you how to do this with the Chrome web browser because it should be consistent for either an iPhone or Android phone but other phone browsers should work as well.

   You will see a prompt whether or not to stay signed in. As long as your phone is secure it may be more convenient to store your password so you don't need to enter your password every time you want to open it.
6. You're done!
