Our tools for shared mailboxes:

Suppose that an Outlook user has access to their personal mailbox and to the additional mailboxes (usually "Info" <info@company.com>, "Sales" <sales@company.com> etc.) on Exchange server. They creates a new message and selects a shared mailbox address as the From address.

Problem: when they click on the Save button, the draft is saved in their personal Draft folder, not in the Draft folder of the shared mailbox.

This utility ensures that the message created with the second mailbox's From address stays in the mailbox that it originated from after saving (i.e. it will be placed to Drafts folder of the second mailbox if you click Save).

Also you can easily see who was the original author of the message.

How it works

CoolDraft utility scans sender address of each saved message in the main mailbox Drafts folder and in case it matches the additional mailbox name moves the message to the appropriate Drafts folder.
 

Installation

  1. Download CoolDraft.zip archive file to any folder on your workstation. Run CoolDraftSetup.exe and follow the instructions.
  2. Run Outlook. Select File > Options > Add-ins and make sure that CoolDraft exists in "Active Application Add-ins"

Let's suppose that the primary mailbox name is "John Doe" and the additional mailbox name is "testuser1".

  1. Run Outlook and click the New button to create a new message. Enable the "From:" field.
  2. Fill in the "From:" field with "testuser1".
  3. Navigate to Testuser1 > Drafts. Make sure that the message you have just saved is placed there.
  4. Open View menu. Select View Settings. Click Columns... button.
    Select All document fields from the list on bottom left corner of the form. Select Author field in the Available columns: list and press Add button. Click OK button to close Show Columns window. Click OK button to close Advance View Settings window.
    Author column will be populated with "John Doe", as John Doe is the original author of this message.
