Configuring End-User Quarantine for Shared Mailbox |
You can now access the End-User Quarantine (EUQ) of the Shared Mailbox and perform any actions on the spam quarantined messages when an administrator enables single sign-on to access EUQ and you have delegated access to that Shared Mailbox.

You can access EUQ to search the spam quarantine messages of the Shared Mailbox if you can log into EUQ through SAML 2.0 authentication. You can view the spam quarantined messages of your Primary Mailbox, and you can now add the Shared Mailbox to which you have access and view the spam quarantined messages of that Shared Mailbox. EUQ allows you to add multiple Shared Mailboxes and provides an option to view, search, release, release and add to safelist, and delete the spam quarantined messages. You can access the Shared Mailbox in the following ways:
For more information, see “Configuring End-User Quarantine for Shared Mailbox” section in the “Spam Quarantine” chapter of the user guide. Note:You can use this feature if you are an Office 365 user.
