The difference between shared mailboxes and mailing lists
The difference between shared mailboxes and mailing lists
A mailing list
- A mailing list has one or more administrators who can manage the list (add/remove members)
- A mailing list is a list containing email addresses
- A mailing list does not contain an inbox/calendar
- If you send to the mailing list, everyone who is a member of the mailing list will receive an email that will be placed in their own inbox
- It is not possible to add external members to the mailing list who do not have an AAU-Username/AAU-Mails
- A mailing list can be added to IDM so that it is the association administrator who manages the mailing list so that they can be automatically updated
Shared mailbox
- A shared mailbox does not have an owner
- If you want to add or remove members from the shared mailbox, this must be done through an email to Support
- A shared mailbox is a separate mailbox that can be added to Outlook. It will be located under your own mailbox
- A shared mailbox is a mailbox that is used by several people (the members of the shared mailbox)
- When a member of the shared mailbox replies to an email sent to the shared mailbox, the email will appear as if it was sent from that mailbox and not from you
- It is not possible to add external members to the shared mailbox who do not have an AAU-Username/AAU-Mails
- A shared mailbox cannot be added to IDM to automatically keep it updated.
