Resolution

    Mailbox records can be found by navigating to Settings, Email Configuration, Mailboxes, and changing the view to Active Mailboxes.

  2. Review any notifications that appear in the yellow notification banner at the top of the form.

    Note

    If a message appears indicating the mailbox won't be processed until it's approved by an Office 365 administrator, which indicates a user with the Office 365 Global Administrator role needs to select the Approve button. For more information, seeEmail cannot be sent because the email address of the mailbox requires an approval by an Office 365 administrator.

  3. Select the Alerts section on the left side of the mailbox form.

  4. Look for any errors and review the message that is displayed.

    Note

    If no errors appear, navigate to Settings, Email Configuration, and then Email Configuration Settings. In the Configure alerts section, verify the Error option is selected. If it wasn't already selected, enable this option and select OK. Then select the Test & Enable Mailbox button again and check for any errors.
