Edit Resource Mailbox

A resource mailbox is used to set up reservations for equipment or a room. It can share a calendar, receive calendar invites, and respond based on the availability of the resource. To edit a resource mailbox, log into the control panel, and perform the following steps:
 

1. Mouse over the Go to section drop-down menu and select Microsoft Exchange.
    
   
2. In the Email Accounts section, click the Resources link.
    
   
3. If you have multiple domains, select the appropriate domain name. Or, to change domains at any time, click the change domain link.
4. Click the Display Name that you want to edit.

   • Display Name—Enter the name that should be associated with the resource mailbox.
   • User Name—Enter a unique user name for the resource’s email address.

     An uppercase letter
     A lowercase letter
     A number or special character (!, $, #, %)
      
     The Requirements bar will be full when the password meets the minimum requirements.

   • Confirm—Retype the password.
